Carson Hocevar won his first Nascar Cup Series race Sunday during a crash-marred event at Talladega Superspeedway. He outdueled Chris Buescher with a last-lap pass for the win. 26 of the 40 cars in the race were involved in an early crash. The 23-year old from Michigan joined Ty Gibbs as first-time winners this season. The drivers head to Texas Motor Speedway this Sunday.
