[autotag]Spire Motorsports[/autotag] made big moves leading into the 2024 NASCAR season, but that hasn’t changed this year. To this point, Spire Motorsports has signed driver Michael McDowell and crew chief Rodney Childers to contracts while announcing that Corey LaJoie won’t return in 2025. So, who could replace LaJoie in the No. 7 Cup car next season?
When thinking about potential replacements for LaJoie, FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass mentioned Sam Mayer and Justin Haley as the first names that come to mind. Mayer has been connected to several rides in the NASCAR Cup Series, including Front Row Motorsports, while Haley has remained committed to Rick Ware Racing throughout the process.
The NASCAR organization will have many options available, but Mayer or Haley would be a great addition alongside Childers. The Rick Ware Racing driver has driven for Spire Motorsports in the past, but it’s unclear if he would leave the No. 51 team. The JR Motorsports driver is a different story, but Spire Motorsports has plenty of time to decide.
