One of the most exciting developments for Spire Motorsports is the return of Carson Hocevar to the Truck Series. Hocevar, a full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver, will be making his first appearance in the series since 2023.
His last outing at the 1.5-mile Fort Worth track saw him clinch his first of four Truck Series victories. This makes his return highly anticipated.
*I’m really excited to get behind the wheel of a truck again,* said Hocevar, who also competes for Spire in the Cup Series. *It has been a while since I’ve run in the series, but I’m really looking forward to it.*
*I won my first truck race there and will be with one of the best teams in the garage and with one of the most experienced crew chiefs (Brian Pattie).* Hocevar will be driving the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet.
Nick Sanchez: A Pole Position Specialist
Another key player in the Spire Motorsports lineup is Nick Sanchez, a full-time NASCAR Xfinity Series driver. Sanchez will be behind the wheel of the No. 07 truck.
His track record at Texas Motor Speedway is impressive. He won the pole for the two most recent Truck Series races at this venue and finished third last year.
Now racing for Big Machine Racing in the Xfinity Series, Sanchez is ready to use his experience and skill to secure a top finish for Spire Motorsports.
The Competition: Corey Heim and TRICON Garage
