Carson Hocevar extends with Spire for at least five years

I consider this supporting evidence for one of my boldest NASCAR predictions, and I might as well put it on record here on the site: I am convinced that General Motors is going to plunk down the money to accelerate Connor Zilisch’s career — possibly towards the Cadillac Formula 1 team — by getting him into the Hendrick Motorsports #48 as soon as it becomes available. People don’t buy it because they think Justin Marks and Trackhouse are going to be able to hang onto him. I do not believe they will be able to make him champion quickly enough.

The one compelling argument I had heard against my prediction is that Carson Hocevar was a shoo-in for the #48. Welp. No he ain’t.
