Spire Motorsports has made a major announcement that is sure to excite NASCAR fans—Hendrick Motorsports stars William Byron and Kyle Larson will compete in select NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races this season. Both drivers will get behind the wheel of the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado, backed by HendrickCars.com, in three different races. This news brings two of the Cup Series’ top talents into the Truck Series spotlight, adding even more intrigue to these events.
Byron, who has already proven himself in the Truck Series before moving up the ranks, is set to compete at Martinsville Speedway on March 28. The short track is known for its intense battles and door-to-door racing, making it a thrilling place for Byron to showcase his skills. Byron previously won a Truck Series race at Martinsville in 2022, so expectations will be high as he returns to the track with Spire Motorsports.
Kyle Larson, a driver who thrives on versatility and has experience across multiple racing disciplines, will take on two Truck Series races for Spire. He is scheduled to compete at Homestead-Miami Speedway on March 21 and Bristol Motor Speedway on April 11. Homestead’s high-banked, multi-groove surface should suit Larson’s driving style perfectly, while Bristol’s tight confines and high speeds will test his ability to navigate traffic. Larson previously found success in the Truck Series with Spire, winning at North Wilkesboro in 2023.
This partnership between Hendrick Motorsports and Spire Motorsports continues to strengthen, with both organizations benefiting from the collaboration. In addition to Byron and Larson running the No. 07 truck, Spire Motorsports will also field two other full-time entries in these races—Rajah Caruth in the No. 71 and Corey Day in the No. 7, both also featuring HendrickCars.com sponsorship.
For NASCAR fans, the opportunity to see Byron and Larson compete in the Truck Series is a treat. The Truck Series is known for its aggressive racing style, and with these two talented Cup Series drivers in the mix, the competition will only intensify. Whether it’s Byron’s return to Martinsville or Larson’s attempt to add more Truck Series wins to his record, these races will be must-watch events.
With the Truck Series already delivering exciting action in 2024, the addition of two of NASCAR’s biggest names only raises the stakes. As Byron and Larson prepare to take on their respective races, fans will be eager to see if their Cup Series success translates into victories in the Truck Series once again.
