NASCAR driver Carson Hocevar has been removed from the No. 77 Chili's Chevrolet for the upcoming Homestead race after incurring two $50,000 fines that failed to alter his on-track conduct. Spire Motorsports announced the decision Wednesday, citing a pattern of behavior that the penalties did not correct.
Hocevar, who drove the No. 77 entry at Talladega Superspeedway in 2026, faced the fines for unspecified infractions. The team determined that a stronger measure was necessary, leading to the driver change for the Homestead event.
Spire Motorsports did not immediately name a replacement for the seat. The move underscores the organization's commitment to maintaining standards of sportsmanship and safety in the NASCAR Cup Series.
