First NASCAR Cup start "means the world" to Carson Hocevar

Hocevar, who has competed fulltime in the Truck Series since 2021 and made his Xfinity Series debut earlier this season, has been tapped by Spire Motorsports to make his Cup debut Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway near St. Louis.

Hocevar, 20, will fill in for Corey LaJoie to drive Spire’s No. 7 Chevrolet. Lajoie is on loan to Hendrick Motorsports this weekend to drive its No. 9 Chevy in place of Chase Elliott, who was suspended for one race by NASCAR earlier this week.
