It took just 91 Cup Series starts for Carson Hocevar to make his mark on NASCAR with a win of the Jack Links 500 at Talladega Superspeedway.  And he capped it off with a one of a kind celebration – driving the car while sitting in the window!

Will Carson’s unique celebration see the light of day once again or will it go the way of the “Hail Melon”?

Hocevar jumped four spots in the point standings in the top 10 to eighth place.
