Spire Motorsports parts ways with Justin Haley; Daniel Suárez eyed as 2026 replacement

Spire Motorsports announced it will part ways with Justin Haley, driver of the No. 7 Chevrolet, at the end of the NASCAR Cup Series season. Haley sits 31st in the standings with two top-10 finishes, including a third-place run at Daytona, and the team did not reveal plans for the lineup beyond this season.

In a separate development, reports indicate that Haley will not return to Spire for the 2026 season and that Daniel Suárez is a leading candidate to take the seat. The news signals a broader reshuffle of Spire's Cup Series program as the team pursues renewed performance and stability in the coming years.
