At Nashville, there was a very public feud between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Carson Hocevar. Early in the run, Hocevar spun Stenhouse into the outside wall, causing the single-car team's first DNF of the 2025 season.
Stenhouse promised payback, but through a series of public and private comments throughout the week, the two drivers smoothed things over. Hocevar even promised to "round the edges off," admitting that his aggressive style can sometimes cross the line.
