Spire Motorsports and Rick Ware Racing are getting a jump start on the 2025 season. The teams announced Friday at Bristol that RWR’s Justin Haley would drive the No. 7 car for Spire over the final seven races of the season while Corey LaJoie would drive the No.

Spire co-owner Jeff Dickerson confirmed that Haley will continue into 2025 to drive its No. 7 car full time. Although RWR did not confirm that LaJoie would remain with the team beyond the final seven races of this season, LaJoie is considered the leading contender to do so, according to sources briefed on the situation.

Rick Ware Racing and Spire Motorsports will swap drivers early to get a jump on 2025, the NASCAR Cup Series teams announced Friday. Following Saturday night's race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Corey LaJoie will drive RWR's No 51 Ford Mustang and Justin Haley will take the wheel of Spire's No.
