Overview
- Spire confirmed Haley will depart after the Phoenix finale, with 2026 plans for the No. 7 Chevrolet to be announced later.
- Haley sits 31st in points with one top-five and two top-10 finishes, trailing teammates Michael McDowell (21st) and Carson Hocevar (23rd).
- The season included a crew-chief shakeup as Rodney Childers left after nine races and competition director Ryan Sparks took over on an interim basis.
- Haley, 26, delivered Spire’s first Cup win in a rain-shortened 2019 Daytona race and owns victories across NASCAR’s Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series.
- Multiple outlets report Daniel Suárez as a leading candidate for the ride, and Kaulig Racing’s Chris Rice said the team would like to help Haley but may be full for 2026.
