Carson Hocevar, entering his third year in the NASCAR Cup Series, has secured a multi-season sponsorship with MINER for his No. 77 Chevrolet at Spire Motorsports, further boosting the team’s roster for the 2026 campaign. The Carson Hocevar MINER sponsorship, announced for a series of prominent races, aims to strengthen brand visibility as MINER continues as Spire Motorsports’ official dock and door service partner.
Partnership Details and 2026 Race Highlights
MINER, based in San Antonio, Texas, first joined forces with Hocevar for a three-race partnership in the previous season. Building on that initial success, MINER will again be the primary sponsor for the No. 77 Chevrolet for three races in 2026, starting with their season debut at Phoenix Raceway on March 8. The company’s vibrant branding will also appear during All-Star Weekend at Dover Motor Speedway on May 17 and at the Daytona International Speedway event on August 29.
Spire Motorsports, confirming MINER’s primary sponsorship role, highlighted the high-visibility partnership as a major feature of their upcoming season. The organization emphasized that MINER will remain involved as a primary race sponsor for at least the next three years, demonstrating a long-term commitment to both driver and team.
