Zane Smith left no room for interpretation or confusion about his feelings towards Carson Hocevar when asked about the animosity between the two. “I just don’t like him as a human,” Smith said Saturday at EchoPark Speedway. Smith ran into the back of Hocevar on lap 32 of last weekend’s race at Chicagoland Speedway. The contact knocked Hocevar sideways, and he bounced off the wall. Smith also ended up with damage. “I just tried to move him off the bottom,” said Smith of the incident.
