Spire Motorsports has decided to part ways with driver Andres Perez, effective immediately. The Mexican-born driver currently sits 17th in the championship standings with just two top tens this year. The split seems mutual, as the team said they are "permitting Andrés Pérez de Lara to explore other opportunities" for the rest of the season.
“Andrés has made meaningful progress this season, and we remain confident in his future,” said Spire Motorsports President Bill Anthony. “While we haven’t finalized our 2026 plans for the No. 77 team, we wanted to give him the opportunity to look ahead and pursue other options for the remainder of this year and beyond. He’s a hard worker, carries himself with humility, and brings a consistently positive attitude to the garage. He comes from a great family, and we fully expect him to continue making strides as part of Chevrolet’s driver development program. We’re proud to have been part of his journey and will continue cheering him on.”
