Team Radio
#38 Team: “I would probably go to Zane and the No. 77 if I was you guys, he’s all over him onto pit road.”
#77 Team: “Just make sure they know that the [expletive] 1 car shipped us, tried to crash us all.”
“Zane doesn’t know, but he does now. All good on the #38.”
The No. 38 team told their driver, “Zane, just so you know, the 1 was the one that apparently shipped the 77 into us.”
Zane Smith responded, “I don’t give a [expletive].”
This is not the first incident between Hocevar and Smith.
