At Pocono Raceway, [Carson Hocevar](https://www.espn.com/rpm/driver?seriesId=2&driverId=5610) appeared unfazed, with no trace of the tension that exists on the track. His impeccable appearance contrasted with the latent threat of [Ricky Stenhouse Jr.](https://www.espn.com/racing/driver/_/id/4351/ricky-stenhouse-jr), who promised to settle scores after an incident in the Mexico City race. The rivalry between both drivers has escalated rapidly. Stenhouse, intending to retaliate, maintains the tension in the atmosphere. It’s not the first time Stenhouse has shown his aggressiveness, as he demonstrated in an altercation with Kyle Busch after a race.
Hocevar is aware of the situation and knows that revenge could be imminent. The dispute began three races ago, and since then the tension has only increased. The incident in Mexico, where Hocevar spun Stenhouse, lit the fuse. The situation worsened with Hocevar’s statements, costing him a $50,000 fine. Despite his youth, Hocevar has generated controversy, even being criticized by Denny Hamlin. Stenhouse could take the law into his own hands, or he could be sanctioned by NASCAR itself. Hocevar acknowledges that the situation could have consequences. However, the driver asks that it not become an “open hunt”. Hocevar himself has acknowledged his mistakes, showing remorse for his comments about Mexico. Spire Motorsports, his team, has ordered him to take sensitivity training courses. Meanwhile, Stenhouse has suffered a setback in the standings, falling from 13th to 21st place in just three weeks. Stenhouse, who recently sold his property for a considerable sum, prefers to focus on other topics. However, the action on the track could be inevitable.He’ll probably be looking over his shoulder for a long time.

Although Stenhouse’s words suggest weariness, action could be coming.I’m honestly tired of talking about the guy.
