Multiple sources told Motorsport.com that McDowell’s likely landing spot for next season is Spire Motorsports, and later Wednesday afternoon Spire confirmed that McDowell had signed a multi-year contract to drive the organization's No. 71 Chevrolet as a teammate to Corey LaJoie and Carson Hocevar.
"This is a new chapter for my family and me, and we’re incredibly thankful for the opportunity that’s in front of us,” said McDowell. “It’s going to take some hard work, but I feel like everything is in place for us to be successful as a race team — to win races and contend for championships. People are the greatest asset to any organization, and with Spire’s vision, ambition, knowledge, and dedication, we will achieve great things. Failure is not an option, and that’s the mindset that it will take to achieve our goals."
