Hocevar is one of several standout names chasing defending champion Ty Majeski, who returns looking for a fifth Slinger Nationals victory after dominating the 2025 edition.

Fans can watch the 47th Annual Slinger Nationals, along with every weekly event from Slinger Speedway, with a FloRacing subscription.

Carson Hocevar Returns To Slinger Speedway

Hocevar will make his fourth trip to Slinger Speedway hoping for his best result yet in the prestigious Super Late Model event.

The Michigan native has completed just over 200 laps across two Slinger Nationals starts and failed to qualify during his most recent visit in 2022. After earning a NASCAR Cup Series victory at Talladega earlier this season, Hocevar will look to carry that momentum into one of North America's toughest short-track races.

Ty Majeski Headlines Loaded Entry List

Standing in Hocevar's way is four-time and defending Slinger Nationals champion Ty Majeski.

The Seymour, Wisconsin native dominated the 2025 race, leading 133 of 200 laps on his way to a fourth victory. Across 12 Slinger Nationals starts, Majeski has led 733 laps and enters this year's event as the driver to beat.

Other notable entries include reigning Snowball Derby champion Stephen Nasse, recent ASA STARS National Tour winner Carson Brown, Derek Thorn, Derek Kraus, Luke Fenhaus and Rich Bickle.
