Carson Hocevar made an impressive move to avoid a wreck during the NASCAR race at the Pocono Raceway this past Sunday. The multi-car wreck was caused by contact between Kyle Busch and Corey LaJoie, about 40 laps before the finish.

While it's never easy for a driver to back off on a restart, LaJoie clearly came up the track and turned Busch in a move that can't be excused, especially from a veteran.

The Pocono pit road penalty, in particular, delivered a significant blow to Larson's campaign. Facing a critical phase in the championship with only five races remaining, Larson described the penalty as an unfortunate surprise.
