Carson Hocevar Suspended by Spire Motorsports For NASCAR Cup Finale at Homestead
· Yahoo Sports
Spire Motorsports has suspended driver Carson Hocevar for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The suspension comes after a controversial incident at Martinsville involving Hocevar and Austin Cindric.
Justin Haley will fill-in for Hocevar behind the wheel of the No. 77 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. Because this Sunday’s Cup Series race is the final 2026, Hocevar’s season has come to a premature end.

Spire Motorsports Parks Carson Hocevar For Homestead Cup Race
During Stage 2 of Sunday’s Xfinity 500, Hocevar and Cindric were racing nose-to-tail. Hocevar, who was running in front of Cindric, brake checked the driver of the No. 2 multiple times. The damage was significant enough to take Cindric out of the race.
Jeff Dickerson, owner of Spire Motorsports, put out a statement on the matter Tuesday. Dickerson said while it could be easy to leave the decision up to NASCAR to penalize Hocevar with a fine or by taking points away, the organization believes in respect.
Therefore, after Hocevar’s actions at Martinsville, Dickerson made the call to suspend his driver.
“The way Carson conducted himself at Martinsville doesn’t meet the standard we set for our drivers, team members or employees, and there are consequences for that. That doesn’t mean we don’t love him and support him.”
“Racing at the Cup level is a privilege, and it comes with an expected level of professionalism from everyone who represents Spire Motorsports. Well go to Homestead united and compete as an organization. After that, we can get ready for Daytona in February with the right mindset to contend for a championship.”
