2025 Fantasy Outlook
Spire Motorsports has tabbed not one, but two rookie drivers to form their three-car team in 2024. Hocevar makes the jump from truck straight into NASCAR's top division, much like his teammate, Zane Smith. He'll pilot the team's more established No. 77 entry and be paired with crew chief, Luke Lambert. Hocevar marched to four victories and a fourth-place finish in last season's truck series points and impressed many in the process. He also worked in nine Cup Series starts, mainly in relief driver duty with Legacy Motor Club. That experience will serve him well making this transition in series in 2024. Those efforts yielded a top finish of 11th-place in the late-season Bristol race. Much like his teammate Smith who is making the same mammoth jump, Hocevar will face some challenges to perform and develop in the very competitive Cup Series in the upcoming season.

Kansas Penalty
NASCAR officials fined Cup Series driver Hocevar $50,000 on Wednesday for a behavioral penalty during last Sunday's race at Kansas Speedway.
ANALYSIS
Hocevar spun to a halt on the backstretch at Kansas late in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400. He would flatten multiple tires in the incident. As safety workers attended his car and arrived at the scene, Hocevar would rev his engine and spin his tires in a futile attempt to get underway. NASCAR levied a major behavioral penalty against the Spire Motorsports driver for a violation of Sections 4.4.B&D. The sanctioning body was not amused with Hocevar's antics that put the safety crew at risk.
