Spire Motorsports isn’t just here to participate; they’re here to dominate. It all started with their acquisition of the Live Fast Motorsports charter, raising eyebrows and sparking curiosity among fans and pundits alike. The chatter was relentless – what were their intentions? Then came the bombshell at the Talladega race weekend.

Spire Motorsports have teamed up with Trackhouse Racing and Zane Smith, expanding to three cars in the Cup Series for the upcoming season, and it’s clear they’re aiming for NASCAR greatness. The question now isn’t about their past acquisitions; it’s about their future. And the big question lingered like exhaust fumes on a racetrack: What does Spire Motorsports envision?

Spire Motorsports’ lightning charge forward

Fielding two cars on the grid, Spire’s star driver, Corey LaJoie, has time and again proved the mettle of the team. Season after season the No. 7 team has outperformed their previous year’s accomplishments with LaJoie’s current season standing out as one of his career’s finest, boasting three top-10 and two top-5 finishes, setting personal bests for himself in the Cup Series and for Spire as a whole.

Jeff Dickerson, the driving force behind Spire Motorsports, shared his thoughts on their journey and future plans. He acknowledged the constant need to prove themselves, to silence the doubters who question their capabilities. “We want to be a playoff car, we want to be winners,” he declared. It’s clear that Spire Motorsports is hungry for more success, looking to break out of the mode where their efforts are met with skepticism.

Talking about competing with the big guns of the Cup Series, Jeff spoke with determination, “But I think we’re making strides.” He acknowledged that everyone in the series has stepped up their game, but so have they.

Bristol showcased their potential, with the No. 7 car leading laps and challenging the top contenders. “We were legitimately leading laps, and it feels like with that #7 car, we’re bouncing off all the guys. So we just want to be in the conversation where it’s not a surprise that we’re up there.”

Dickerson further offered a glimpse into what lies ahead for Spire Motorsports following their game-changing deal. The key takeaway? Their unwavering alliance with Hendrick Motorsports.

Jeff Dickerson on Spire’s unwavering bond with Hendrick Motorsports

When questioned about the nature of their relationship with both Trackhouse Racing and Hendrick Motorsports in the upcoming season, Jeff was quick to clarify. “Our relationship with Hendrick continues,” he affirmed with a sense of loyalty. “We are still with Hendrick, and we have our technical alliance with them. All of our engines will be sourced through them, and the third car’s engines will be through there.”

But it was Jeff’s heartfelt acknowledgment of Rick Hendrick‘s unwavering support that truly stood out. He reflected on their unique bond, describing it as a mentorship that went beyond business. “Mr. Hendrick has always treated me like his illegitimate son,” Jeff revealed. “He has always been there, pushed, and answered the phones. Any dumb idea that I have, he’s right there to show me that there’s a way through those things.”

Looking ahead, Jeff assured fans and enthusiasts that, despite the significant developments, the core of their Cup program would remain familiar. “Pit crews, at least on two of the cars, pit crews will be through there, technical data will be through there. As far as we’re concerned, the show goes on with Hendrick.”

As the engines rev and the upcoming season looms large, fans will be watching whether their ambitious plans translate into victory on the track and become a force to be reckoned with in the world of stock car racing.
