Spire Motorsports picks Justin Haley over Corey Day for NASCAR race

Summary

Spire Motorsports has named Justin Haley to drive the No. 77 Chevrolet at Homestead-Miami Speedway, replacing suspended Carson Hocevar. Spire's decision not to select Corey Day, who was competing for an O'Reilly Auto Parts Series title, raises questions about the team's future plans. Hocevar was suspended for his actions at Martinsville Speedway, which resulted in a hefty fine and points deduction. Haley, a veteran driver with 180 Cup starts, has previously driven for Spire and was freed from other commitments for this race. Corey's debut in the Cup Series is scheduled for 2027, where he will run part-time for Spire.
