Rumors are swirling that Spire Motorsports might be going full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series next year. Not official yet, but there are some pretty big hints.
Just recently a NASCAR insider shared that Spire is selling off a bunch of their Truck Series gear: chassis, engines and race-ready trucks for all tracks. That got people talking. Then a well-known rumor account chimed in and said Spire is planning to run Xfinity cars in 2026.
So what’s going on here? Spire has been killing it in the Truck Series since they picked up Kyle Busch Motorsports’ assets, but running a four-truck team plus Cup cars probably stretches the budget and resources. Selling some equipment could be a smart way to free up cash and energy to launch an Xfinity program without burning out.
What This Means for Drivers and Teams
For drivers this could be huge. Rajah Caruth who’s been turning heads in Trucks might be a prime candidate to move up. Or maybe Corey Day who’s already splitting time between Spire’s Trucks and Hendrick’s Xfinity rides could get more seat time.
There’s also curiosity about who Spire would team up with technically. They have close ties with Hendrick in Cup but Hendrick’s big Xfinity partner is JR Motorsports. So Spire would have to figure out a new alliance or go it alone.
If Spire backs out of Trucks that would shake up the Chevrolet side of things since they’ve become the top dog after Kyle Busch Motorsports and GMS Racing shut down. Niece Motorsports might fill that spot but it also leaves room for Ram and others to step up in 2026.
Bottom line: this is all still rumor territory. But the equipment sale, the chatter and the potential benefits all point to Spire gearing up for something big. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens before Daytona rolls around.
