Who do you think gets the 7 car in 2025?
Kyle Busch
Ryan Preece
Sam Mayer
Jesse Love
Austin Hill
That’s all I got
Rajah caruth
Kyle Busch to the 7 car hopefully, a championship winning driver partnering up with a championship winning crew chief like Rodney Childers will be awesome.
STOP SAYING BUSCH
If it wasn’t for his contract lasting till 2025, would have said Kyle Busch.
LaJoie is now EX-Spired.
That was a good one, Chief!
You win
I bet Josh Berry regrets now that he signed with the Wood Brothers. He would have been ecstatic if he could have followed Childers to Spire and the #7 car.
Still think he’s gonna do a great job in the 21
@@Duval-In-The-Wall I do too. Berry thought a lot of Childers and Childers thought a lot of Berry in their short time working together.
@@johnhenryNCi don’t know why anyone thinks Barry is going to be a force in cup
Rodney Childers said that he chose not to go with Josh, even though he respects him and that he will always see him as a friend is what he said on Kevin Harvicks podcast
Josh shouldn’t feel regret, he made the right decision, spire dropping Corey lajoie was quite sudden and no one expected it, and of course the wood brothers signing happened a while before that, and if josh berry waited, his best option being the wood brothers would’ve slipped away
Kyle Busch should go to the 7 car. He sold KBM to them, it could a reunion for that. Also, he will get Rodney Childers as his crew chief, which will definitely make for a very threatening combo.
@@paknyc_7866 The odds of that happening are unlikely. RCR has a contract, they are not letting Kyle out of it unless Spire offers Childress a whole lotta money that knocks his socks off. People want Kyle to leave RCR thinking that if he goes elsewhere he will win again. Let's ride it out and see what happens.
Sorry to burst yalls bubble, im a KB fan too and would love this but if you think RC is letting it happen youre crazy. Its gonna go to Zane Smith or Shane, whichever trackhouse doesnt take.
Kyle paired with Rodney would be a dream situation
If he took over the 7 that would be ironic
kbm getting sold to spire just for a spire driver to wreck him, get fired right after, then kyle busch possibly taking his spot would be hillarious
Rodney was foolish to jump on with Spire. He could have landed with a much better team…
@@flint005 Like two men have said "Anything's Possible!" But the odds of Kyle literally jumping ship to Spire are unlikely.
We knew 2024 would be the end of an era. Between the end of Stewart Haas, an entirely different Ford lineup with the New-Look Front Row, Spire Motorsports overhaul, Martin Truex Jr gone, Wood Brothers refreshing and the media rights deal with new annoucers and networks and changes to how the sport is presented. That's guaranteed to change the landscape of NASCAR'S schedule and the sport as a whole, the end of an era
Just like win Winston left!
Probably the start of the end of the 2000s era. (Remember, we have still KB8 and DH11.)
2024 is the last part of the end for this era.
Just like the time when all the old guys from the 80s started to retire too
Pairing McDowell and Childers is easily a playoff formula.
It would be incredible.
To me the obvious choice.
McDowell needs to retire
?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but serves him right. Lajoie sabotaged so many attempts by other drivers to win it, to the point he is more despised than Bubba Wallace says something. On the positive side, Childers has a clean slate he (secretly) wanted and can start anew with a new driver
Meh, you got people whose entire internet persona is dedicated to shit talking bubba because he’s black and literally just for that reason. I hope lajoie bounced back personally even if he isn’t a fav of mine or anything.
@@deaf2819i hope you realize a ton of people dislike bubba for things beyond his color right? like the fact he has obvious anger issues more than any other top team driver?
Did ya see Blaney lose his shit? Everyone is angry in this sport @@LordBurger
@@deaf2819I don’t. Let him race modifieds
@deaf2819 always that one who makes it about race 🙄 do you even watch the races? If you do, I'm not sure how you're missing all of the very obvious reasons people don't like him and skip straight to "it's because he is black". That shit is played out bud, find a new buzz phrase
Truckity, Truckity, Truckity, Let’s put Corey LaJoie In The 7 Truck and go Tailgating Boys!
Truck racing is so much fun
Send him back to ARCA
He actually almost won a truck race this year, so I'll allow it.
@@theLongPigChefdude has never won anything lol maybe he should take the Billy Maddison approach and go back to go karts and work his way back up to prove he even deserves to be in the big leagues.
@@turtledowork2405 You aren't wrong. He won a few ARCA races, and if I were him I would have stayed where I was competitive.
Christian Eckes, Sam Mayer, and Kyle Busch are my top 3 candidates
Sam Mayer is a great pick
This aged poorly
I'm curious if Kyle Busch has a Performance clause in his contract. Some contracts may include performance clauses that allow drivers to leave or seek alternative options if the vehicle fails to meet certain performance standards. These standards might be based on metrics such as qualifying positions, race results, or reliability.
Maybe it's wishful thinking as a Suarez fan, but I still feel like Trackhouse is committed to them. He's their guy - the guy who the team started with, and who (IMO) is synonymous with them. Funnily enough, I used to say the same about LaJoie and Spire. The difference is, Suarez has gotten them two wins and is poised to make another playoff run. And as insanely popular/marketable as SVG is, Suarez is still one of the most popular drivers in the garage. I think he's safe for the time being.
I would like to see Sire put McDowell in the #7 and Keep Smith where he is asking a rookie to light up the world and that is unfair for Z. Smith for them to do so in my opinion
They should put Smith in the 77.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld I totally agree keep him where he is now and put McDowell in the #7
Corey LaJoie Should Go Down To Xfinity or Trucks and become on the Level of A Justin Allgaier or a Matt Crafton
If Spire can’t get Busch, they should go for Christian Eckes. The last truck series driver they signed for cup worked out well, why not do it again?
I would like to see Eckes win a Truck series Championship first.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld hocevar didn’t win a truck series championship and he’s done very well this year.
I’ll say Kyle Busch will join Spire Motorsports next year.
If he doesn't get the 3 car at RCR, yes
@@j.cbutterfly3293 Unless Childress gets Kyle's contract bought out by Spire he isn't going anywhere. He just joined the team last year and you all already want him gone just because of one bad year. Teams and drivers go through regressions(You didn't see Dale Earnhardt or Jeff Gordon jumping ship after they had rough seasons)It's best to ride it out and get to the end of this season and regroup.
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. It's just a number. Dale drove it and now Austin drives it because he wanted it. The number belongs to RCR and it they let him use it, that's okay.
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.that wouldn’t be the reason Kyle leaves.
I kind of figured when they got Rodney they would drop Lajoie. I think they want a certain driver to be paired with Rodney.
Yep Michael McDowell on the 7 car would easily be a playoff car.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Yeah he would be pretty good with Rodney. I think that they believed LaJoie had reached his ceiling as a driver. Maybe he needs to do XFINITY full time like his old man.
Like... A good driver.
Man, good thing he was stacking those pennies
Iceburg, I’ve missed you man. Don’t know why your vids stopped being recommended to me but I’m glad to be back and see one pop up on my feed. I need to get back to listening to NWP every week too.
You know what fuck it. Spire brings Rajuh Caruth to the 7 car in the Cup series
He’s not ready
Shitttt why not he would be way better then bubba Wallace anyways
@@conleycopeland1808based on what? Comparing the 2 black dudes? Lmfao. You outted yourself there clown!
Would be better than Corey
Rajah is not ready, but i know a good guy called Jessie. If you wanna knew it, all you need is Love.
I could see Zane Smith going back to Front Row to drive their 3rd car next to Gilliland and Gragson. Also Kyle Busch to the Spire #7 feels like it could happen since he’s been driving the #7 Spire truck this year
I like rooting for Erik Jones so Id like to see him come over and get a fresh start to jump start his career. Legacy doesn't seem like they have their sht together.
Legacy has just fired the entire 84 team (The car that JJ drives part-time)
They didn’t sign childers for no reason so it’s either McDowell or a surprise signing soon
2024 was the deciding factor on weather or not he would be back and with the year he’s had it was clear after now getting out run by his rookie teammates it’s clear that he’s not going to make the team better. I hope he finds an opportunity somewhere
I mentioned it on Eric's video, but the timing seems like with Zane rumored to go back to FRM, then maybe that forced Spire's hand here. My heart wants to see Zane paired up with Rodney, I think it would be a great fit for all parties involved.
I wonder how realistic this is. Next year, Spire tabs someone like Harrison Burton for a year as a placeholder for Kyle Busch for 2026 after his contract with RCR is expired.
KYLE BUSH TO SPIRE
LaJoie’s new ride in 2025: #69 of the Guandong Tigers (NI HAO! NI HAO! NI HAO!)
Incoming Chinese F4 seat
@@craigstephenson7676nah that belongs to Minister of Defence/Disgrace
@@IsaacV24 that is a basketball team in China.
Stacking unemployment checks
Honestly, the guy has talent but not performed. He is in the conversation for all the wrong reasons. It is the right move, as Spire will see improvement no matter who fills the seat.
I was literally listening to the NWP segment on him as I pulled into my garage, I get out my phone and, BOOM! COREY LAJOIE IS NOT COMING BACK AFTER 2024!!!!
About time.. Cory isn't even mediocre
Imagine Kyle busch takes over his ride😂
I know I could be jumping the gun here in a number of ways, but if Kyle Busch went to Spire and immediately had them at least close to even just a couple of wins, then at that point I wouldn't blame everyone for just flat-out calling Corey Lajoie one of the biggest busts in NASCAR history (assuming some aren't calling him that already)
Honestly, Erik Jones IS BETTER than JH Nemecheck, before the accident (Thanks NASCAR) Jones have better stats than Hunter Nemecheck in 24’
With LaJoy out the door I think Spire should shift gears a little. Carson Hocevar has an amazing amount of talent but needs guidance and structure. Match him up with Childers, one of the most talented and respected crew chiefs in the garage, and I think Spire has a combo that makes the whole sport take notice!
What about SVG? Spire and Trackhouse already have a deal with the 71 charter and Trackhouse doesn’t have a charter for him
Makes sense now considering the way he’s been driving.
Something a lot of people forget about, McDowell filled in once for KB in 2011, so them being teammates would be a cool full circle moment!
Also Spire almost got KB in 2022, so maybe they get him this time?
Hocevar is the wave of the future! He's an untapped potential!!! Him and that Gibbs kid! I've been following this great sport for 2 decades, I've seen them come and go. In my generation, early on, I had Stewart. Who could rise up. Before it was a "fad" to be a Larson fan, I was. I told y'all so! NOW we have Hocevar. This young driver has GREATNESS written all over him. He is a generational talent. For those who study our great sport, Carson Hocevar is where it's at! We get ONE of these every decade or so! Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson...ALL of these drivers have just shattered records. Hocevar is going to be in this category! Mark my words!
I like Corey but he might be a Saturday driver like his dad
Corey will land on his feet as a Walmart greeter. Hopefully Busch can go there but I think it will be Erik Jones.
I did not see that coming AT ALL. I thought it was confirmed he was back with Rodney coming to the team.
I think it’d be good to hook Rodney Childers with Carson. Carson is talented and maybe a crew chief like Rodney could calm Carson down a little bit and get results?
Corey Lajoie has done nothing since entering the Cup series so I hope Lajoie is stacking those pennies he is going to need them. Rodney Childress and Carson Hocevar or Michael McDowell would make a great pair in the 7 car next yea
Lajoie is the most Mid of all the Mid drivers.
What about SVG possibly going to the 7?
I have some possibilities
Zane Smith would move to the 7 car, and gets his contract extended for one additional year.
Shane Van Gisbergen if Trackhouse decides if he is ready for cup will allow him to drive the 7 car. That is if Trackhouse doesn't want to buy a third Charter.
Ryan Preece, the only SHR driver without a ride, may have an opportunity to take the 7 car. That is, if he is NOT under contract from Ford.
Or Spire would decide to just have a rotating list of Part time drivers for the 7. Just like the Kauling number 16 and Rick Ware Racing number 15
Imagine Kyle Busch takes the 7
I don't think it would simply be a buyout of Kyle Busch. I think spire would have to find some way to send another quality younger driver to RCR. I think you will start seeing that in the future kind of like other sports that trade players.
I just don't see it as simple as this though. I think something a lot bigger is going to happen. Maybe there will be a merger of teams or something.
In terms of Eric Jones. I still like him. Yeah these last few years have been rough. It's hard to see a driver that has two Southern 500 wins struggling to find a ride, but also at the same time there is also so much young talent that it's hard to ignore that there are other drivers out there
Saw this coming. Fans pressured Spire into letting him go, now he's without a ride.
btw, could you make a video on the worst season for every cup driver racing now?
I Really Want to see kyle Busch on car Number 7
Corey already knew pf changes coming. Thats why he was so mad at Bush.
Very interesting observation. Hence Spire doesn't want an open seat & have some one lined up like KB & why KB has been throwing finishes away to be let go. RCR has Hill & Love ready to go & will lose them soon if RCR doesn't put them in cup.
Could mcdowell take it with Smith and Hocevar?
It's about time for Kyle Busch to leave that RCR sinking ship to join Spire and partner up with Rodney Childers.
If he doesn't get the 3 car in 25, he better leave a-la Tyler Reddick/Sheldon Creed (announce it mid-season)
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. He isn't getting a 3...that isn't how it works. I have never heard Kyle Busch say anything about changing his number and all that. RCR owns the right to that number and they let Austin Dillon have it, regardless of how bad he is.
If it wasn’t for his dad he would be working at tractor supply in mooresville
Gonna throw a curve ball out here since you brought up Daniel Suarez and Zane Smith: Shane Van Gisbergen. If everything falls apart with the charters for Trackhouse and they can't get that third one for SVG (or Smith, but I doubt it), I am almost guaranteeing you that Trackhouse will swap Smith for SVG in that partnership deal with Spire.
Yeah it could happen.
I will please and thank you
I think Corey goes to Kaulig Xfinity team depending if Josh Williams returns. I doubt Kaulig will be 3 cars next year in Xfinity with SVG going to Cup
I would like to see Brett Moffitt back in a cup car in the 7 car but McDowell would be good too.
From Stacking Excuses to Stacking Burgers.
@@darthhull85 He will get another ride. He isn't flipping burgers
I think Zane goes to the 7. I feel being paired with Rodney Childers could help him reach that next level. Mayer could be a solid option but he’s a bit too raw so he might need another year in Xfinity.
I could see Erik Jones in the 7. He and his family are Chevrolet people and he still has resentment towards Toyota.
I think track house makes a deal with spire to put SVG in the 7 next year
Cole Custer, Austin Hill or any other Xfinity drivers who seem to do well every week.
Maybe see how the rest of his xfinity series season goes and give it to gisbergen?
Busch to 7. Love to 8. Part of deal Spire switches to ECR engines.
Jesse love isn’t ready for cup, he honestly shouldn’t of skipped the trucks!
@@miketwotwenty I agree. But Love is the it guy of the future for RCR. I could see Hill getting the 8. Then Love replacing Dillon in a year or two
Imagine if Corey Lajoie & KFB swapped each other's rides for 2025
I think KB will be there for the long haul, RCR drivers end up being pretty loyal. KB has enough wins in his career and wants a team that is his and he is #1 driver.
I wonder if Rodney Childers had a say in this? He doubted the ability of Corey? So spire dumped him.
Looks like he gonna be stacking some Penny's...
who should i cheer for now?
Name an example of nepotism that's worse than Corey Lajoie
258 Cup Starts, only 4 Top 5's (all on superspeedway plate tracks)
all 9 of his Top 10's also came on Superspeedway plate tracks.
Bronny James Los Angeles Lakers
In cup & he doesn't own a single trophy to his name?
What about Christian Eckes?
Erik Jones to the 7 and Corey Heim to the 43 will feed generations
Teams dont let go of a driver unless they signed a guy and sponsors are happy.
I’m guessing either Sam Mayer or Kyle Busch!
NI HAO COREY
Doesn’t break my heart. He talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. His team mate has a better season.
I would rather see Chandler Smith or Eckes over Mayer.
Suarez would be an interesting move bc even though he’s nowhere near Ross in points, he’s still in the playoffs, and Ross might not make it in sadly. And I’m a Ross fan. That’s hard to watch.
Lajoie needs a career reset back to trucks, imo. Not saying he isn’t good, just doesn’t look like he has much to show for his time in Cup.
It also sucks that other than Hendrick, Chevy teams haven’t shown up for wins except Suarez and that was a super speedway.
Ladies and gentlemen... we got em
He'll no longer be Stacking Spins.....at Spire anyway.
Although the results don't speak for it, KB going to Spire would be a downgrade unless they get promoted to tier 1 by Chevy. Say what u want about RCR but they are a key partner, Spire isn't and I don't think Trackhouse is going anywhere. Maybe i'm delusional, but I genuinely believe Kyle can make it happen with RCR, but man are they are havin a rough one
Look guys Trackhouse shelled out the cash. Zane smith stays in cup and SVG gets the 97 car in cup. McDowell goes to the 7. This is obvious yall. Now watch me be completely wrong
This is bold, but Wallace to spire and heim to 23xi?
The whole reason 23XI exists is because of Wallace, but I can see Heim going to Spire
3:57 I’m so over Sam Mayer. Finally winning but never really cared for him
McDowell will get the 7. Duh
Idk if im a team owner. I dont want KFB... hes throwing good finishes away
Who cares who they add..spire will fail. You don't do that too a guy because internet trolls have a good time dragging a guy down. kyle busch gets wrecked, (which he spends every week doing) without lajoies help..hocevar will leave them in a few years..mcdowell will be gone in a couple years and whoever they put in the 7 won't be any better because they probably will jump someone up too fast. Hard too root for a team that reacts like that hope busch does get the ride because it won't be sunshine and rainbows. Good luck corey
You’re right, you don’t fire someone bc of trolls.
You only fire them for something like having no wins, only 5 top 5s, and 10ish top 10s, and an average finish of ~30th in the points all over an 11 year career.. across all three series. That’s actually Corey LaJoie.
@coreymoore01 yepp your right or close too it I'm sure but thats not my point..according too you then you just don't resign the guy if your spire or you just don't hire him if those races mattered..that's alot of races with low tier equipment and it's still not good so that's why it's not cool too fire someone with less than half a season left with mid tier equipment at best and make it hard in finding another ride..that's all I'm saying..I did overdo it in the comments though at first
@@brandontouville9469 Unfortunately, in nascar today - new teams have to prioritize the $$$$ a driver brings to the table.
Don't be too surprised if it's haley she's rumored to go to Haas but know one knows for sure 😊
Lajoie has only been a disappointment last year when he filled in for chase elliot for one race and I think hoecavr drove the no7 in that race and he did better in the 7 car than lajoie did in Hendrick equipment
Connor Zilech?? Probably to soon
David Land would be so happy.
Hear me out….
Hailie. Fucking. Deegan.
Her moving up to Xfinity made no sense so why not jump to Cup??
Would be a interesting bet
They’re spending on all the wrong things haha! I agree they need a better driver, but the best driver won’t help when you have crap on the track. Spend that money on RND and stop worrying about an alliance to get you there because it never will. Other teams are not going to give them championship level equipment/data and that’s just the realistic truth. They need to poach RND guys from Gibbs, HMS and Penske and get to work. You won’t see much improvement until they do so.
Suarez is the going anywhere…he won’t lose his seat to SVG if they don’t get a charter
Childers should be Mcdowells crew chief
The biggest mistake RCR made was putting Austin Dillon in a cup car. He has 4 wins in 393 starts in 11 full time seasons.
Blows my mind that he still has a ride.
@@vinceedwards575 At least he has four. Some people like Ted Musgrave or Rick Last never even got close and they were far better. He has as many wins at Michael Waltrip. Not all these drivers are going to be studs.
@@evanwilliams6406 Well Harvick had 23 wins at RCR in 13 years with 6 top 5 finishes in the points. Austin's best finish in the points is 11th.
Keep guessing...
Childress will make money on the deal and he's got driver ready to go.
I don't know what's crazier this NASCAR silly season or the current 2024 presidential election. Lol
