He’s not even that far below the cut line which is crazy

That’s because the cut line is 16. No full time driver is that far below it. :’D

What a great opportunity for Corey!

A one race opportunity may ruin his chance to make the playoffs. I have no idea how his team agreed to this.

This is awesome new for Corey!!! Wonder who Spire will peg to drive the 7. Think they’ll have Hocevar give it a shot? He looked good in the Xfinity race yesterday and Xfinity is in Portland, so it would almost have to be a truck driver (or someone from the outside)

I wouldnt be surprised if they do someone like Matt Dibedideto

Hocevar.

Why wouldn’t they just bring up Josh Berry again?

Rick Hendrick never forgets man. I got so much respect for him. Very good business man, ultra competitive, but always takes care of his people and understands the sport is bigger than any one person or team

Pete Matthews May 30, 2023 at 10:12 pm

Go Corey,he’ll see whether he’s the real deal or not,I think he’ll probably do OK.

Rick Hendrick always takes care of his people? Hendrick killed one of his long loyal customers

​@TORPEDOZ I amen I agree he knew about the weather and was told by pilots not to fly out that day and he told them they had to so he killed more than one and it was his own family

@jason jason Do you have documentation to back up that claim?

I hope Corey does amazing in that better equipment. He deserves it

Huge fan of him. Super excited to see Corey in a competitive car. On the opposite side, the Spire 7 team gave Alex Bowman hell last night not giving room to get out of the box. So hopefully Corey having this opportunity will change some perspectives over there.

Hey_Its_Kev May 30, 2023 at 10:28 pm

He deserves this so much! To almost win in that 7 car means the driver must be really good…,he needs a car with a good team to really show his skills

I can’t wait to see how Corey does in a good car! Love nothing more than him to get a w
