Dale Earnhardt Jr. has stated that Carson Hocevar will drive for JR Motorsports in the 2027 NASCAR season, though the move requires approval from Hocevar's current team, Spire Motorsports. The comment came during a recent appearance by Earnhardt, who co-owns JR Motorsports. Hocevar currently pilots the No. 77 Chili's Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Cup Series. Any transfer would depend on Spire Motorsports agreeing to release Hocevar from his contractual obligations. The 2026 season is still underway, with Hocevar competing at tracks including Talladega Superspeedway.
