Spire Motorsports partnership 2026 will see Modo Casino increase its commitment starting with the 68th annual Daytona 500, where ARB Interactive’s leading social gaming platform will be prominently featured on Michael McDowell’s No. 71 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. The expansion aims to build on the momentum established in the previous year and bring greater visibility to both brands across some of NASCAR’s most prestigious events.
Building on Last Year’s Momentum Across Multiple Races
Modo Casino first joined forces with Spire Motorsports in 2025, introducing NASCAR’s enthusiastic fan base to an array of online games. This renewed agreement in 2026 ensures the Modo Casino brand will be showcased not just at Daytona, but throughout the entire NASCAR Cup Series season, supporting multiple drivers and teams.
“Building on the energy we generated in 2025, we are thrilled to significantly expand our footprint with Spire Motorsports for the 2026 season,”
said David Jumper, Chief Marketing Officer, ARB Interactive.
“Seeing our branding on Carson Hocevar’s car for four races last year was just the beginning; moving into 2026, we are proud to support multiple drivers across the Cup Series, from the iconic Daytona 500 to the finale in our hometown of Miami.”

Winners are able to exchange their virtual earnings for real-world prizes and incentives, adding an additional layer of excitement for both seasoned fans and newcomers. New sign-ups are treated to special bonus opportunities, encouraging greater engagement among potential players.
Broadening Reach and Engaging the Fan Community
As part of this partnership’s growth, Modo Casino and Spire Motorsports are making it a point to engage NASCAR’s deeply loyal and active fan community. Bill Anthony, President of Spire Motorsports, noted,
“Modo Casino came into NASCAR last year with real energy, and the fans noticed,”
and further stated,
“Beyond the bold paint schemes, they’re focused on building a social gaming platform that appeals to a broad audience. That kind of approach, showing up, engaging authentically, and delivering a compelling experience, is how brands earn lasting loyalty. We’re excited to expand the partnership and help Modo keep growing its community throughout 2026.”
