Stenhouse eventually drove to 27th and Hocevar finished 34th.
The Amazon Prime Video broadcast showed Stenhouse leaning into Hocevar’s vehicle and giving him a few choice words. Stenhouse was asked after the confrontation what he told Hocevar.
“I told him I was going to beat his a– once we got back in the States,” he said, via The Athletic.

Hocevar was heard in the vehicle trying to explain to Stenhouse what happened with his vehicle, but to no avail. The two have built up a rivalry on the track over the last few weeks of the season. Stenhouse called out Hocevar’s aggressive driving after a wreck in Nashville.
While it seemed the two had let bygones be bygones after the Nashville race, the lingering smoke has built up a new fire.
Shane Van Gisbergen won the race. Christopher Bell finished right behind him in second place.
