Chase Pinsonneault signed to drive Pro Late Model team
NASCAR driver Carson Hocevar is forming his own late model team. Carson Hocevar Racing will field a Pro Late Model to begin the 2024 season. However, the team has future plans of moving to Super Late Models before the end of the season.
The team will be based in Michigan.
Chase Pinsonneault has signed with the new team for the 2024 season as the driver. Zach Dunson will be the team manager and crew chief.
Hocevar currently runs full time in the NASCAR Truck Series. He recently locked himself in the Championship race with a win at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
For 2024, Hocevar is signed to drive in the NASCAR Cup Series for Spire Motorsports.
Hocevar stated, “Excited to officially be an owner of my own full time late model program.”
Chase Pinsonneault: Driver
“Having this chance to continue my progression as a driver is an amazing opportunity,” Chase Pinsonneault stated.
“The fact that Carson (Hocevar) and his team see potential in me is a huge confidence booster. I’ve got to work with them a little already in testing and it really does feel like they’ve built a program strong enough to succeed anywhere we go.”
“I’m incredibly excited to get to work with Carson,” says the Belle River, ON native. “He’s a wheelman and I’m really happy to have the chance to learn from him and just continue to refine my craft and grow as a racer” “I’ve been dreaming of this type of chance from the moment I watched my first race. I’m ready to take on the challenge. I’m excited to race against some of the best in Late Model racing. Guys like Bubba Pollard who I’ve watched my entire life. I can’t wait to see how I stack up.”
Zach Dunson: Crew Chief
“Carson and I are both very excited for the next chapter of Carson Hocevar Racing,” Zach Dunson stated.
“We’ve both watched a lot of Chase’s race footage from the 2023 season and you can see just how much raw talent he has. He’s a very respectful young man and his family has been in the Motorsports industry for generations, which makes them incredibly knowledgeable on what it takes to be successful.”
“Carson and I have talked about doing a development deal for a couple years now,” continues Dunson. “Having him sign a multi-year (NASCAR) Cup deal was the perfect time to start developing a new talent”
“I’ve been racing with Carson since he was 12-years old and all that time together has allowed us to experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows and – at the end of the day – your program’s strength is built from how you rebound from the bad days and how you leap forward from the good ones.”
“We’ve tested with Chase three times this Fall,” says Dunson. “The number one thing that stuck with me is how much info you can pack into Chase – and he just absorbs it like a sponge.”
“Every time we stopped for a major change in setup, Chase was immediately right under the car with us to ask questions and understand the next moves we were going to make.”
