In the 2025 NASCAR season, Carson Hocevar and the No. 77 team will have a new appearance and a new sponsor. Today, Spire Motorsports announced the news. This season, Hocevar will host several races with Miner Corporation, a company that specializes in docks, doors, and “more” as their tagline states.

Carson Hocevar just finished an outstanding season as Rookie of the Year. For that accolade, he faced Kaz Grala, Zane Smith, and Josh Berry. As a result, he now has a new partner.

Miner will be the sole supplier of dock and door services for Spire as part of the sponsorship agreement. That is significant. Business-to-business agreements include a large number of NASCAR’s most successful and enduring sponsorships at the moment.

This kind of partner integration benefits the teams as well as the sponsors. Riding on Hocevar’s car for the 2025 season, Miner will be more than happy with the results the young driver delivers.

“Adding MINER to Spire Motorsports’ family of partners is an exciting way to carry the momentum from 2024 and winning the Cup Series rookie of the year into the off season,” Hocevar stated in a press statement. “Ahead of the new year, we’re off to a strong start and have a lot of fantastic things going on. MINER is a fantastic organization, and we both share a dedication to excellence. We seem to have just finished the previous season, but we’re already planning for 2025.

At Spire Motorsports, Carson Hocevar is prepared to take the next step.
Carson Hocevar will hold the record for Spire Motorsports’ longest tenure in 2025. He is the only member of the three drivers from the previous season—Corey LaJoie, Zane Smith, and himself—to return for this one.

In 2025, Justin Haley and Michael McDowell join the team. McDowell is the current 2024 pole award winner. He finished the season with six poles. If Haley’s skills are combined with the appropriate tools and team, he might become a star. This season, with Rodney Childers leading his team, he might make that move.

I believe Carson Hocevar will rise to the new difficulties. There will be fresh voices in the garage with new teammates. They may have some information that his teammates were unaware of. For Hocevar and Haley, McDowell ought to be a great elder teammate and mentor. Remember that Haley is only 25 years old.

Spire Motorsports has a lot of momentum, primarily financial. They are affiliated with the same ownership group that runs the forthcoming Cadillac F1 team, which is scheduled to make its debut in 2026, as well as Andretti Global. Will that money translate into Cup Series results on the track?

In racing, there have been many wealthy people who have gone with little to show for their money.
