Now, the driver competes as a full-time Cup Series driver for Spire Motorsports.

Former Truck Series champion Carson Hocevar gets candid about his stint with Spire Motorsports in the Cup Series
During the Goodyear 400 race at Martinsville Speedway, Spire Motorsports driver Carson Hocevar was featured in a media day. The Chevy driver opened up about his team's poor performance at the start of the 2025 season. Hocevar claimed that he secured one top-five finish this season at Atlanta Motor Speedway in March 2025.
His teammate, Michael McDowell, secured a single pole position at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he finished 16th. On the other hand, Justin Haley secured only one top-ten finish at the Homestead-Miami Speedway race, where he finished tenth.
Reflecting on the same, Carson Hocevar said (via SpeedwayDigest.com):
“We've improved a lot as team since that last race at Darlington, where we qualified well, and I think we have a good chance to show speed in practice, qualify decent and have another good points day."
The #77 Chevy Camaro ZL1 driver currently ranks 25th on the Cup Series points table with 157 points. Meanwhile, Haley ranks 23rd with 164 points, and McDowell ranks 19th with 174 points.
