Race Rundown – No. 42 Premier Security Solutions Chevrolet Silverado

Hocevar made his way towards the top-10 in the early going Saturday night by gaining five spots in the opening ten laps before settling into tenth place on lap 27. He went on to earn a stage point with a tenth-place finish in Stage One.

After a four tire stop and adjustments to address a tight-handling truck at the stage break, Hocevar rallied to produce a sixth-place finish in Stage Two. A malfunction with an air gun while changing the left front tire during the stage break shuffled the No. 42 back to ninth place to begin the final stage, but Hocevar quickly worked his way back up to sixth on lap 88. 

Following a four tire stop under caution on lap 92, the No. 42 was assessed with an uncontrolled tire penalty, forcing Hocevar to start at the tail end of the lead lap. He worked his way back into the top-10 but was shuffled back to 15th on the final restart and settled for a 15th-place finish.

Hocevar on his run at Kansas: “We didn’t have the run we hoped for in Kansas tonight, but a big thank you to Premier Security Solutions for helping us run the Flint Police Department scheme. I wish we could have turned in a better result for all of the names we had on the truck tonight. Our No. 42 team will shift its focus to Texas to once again prove the speed we have.”
