The #1 NASCAR content creator on YouTube, Eric Estepp hosts Out of the Groove, a daily talk show covering news and trending topics in the NASCAR fan community.

Carson Hocevar isn’t going anywhere, and NASCAR’s silly season just got a lot more interesting. A long-term Spire extension, Corey Heim’s Cup plans finally coming into focus, and some very telling comments out of 23XI Racing all dropped at once. Plus, Eric kicks things off by announcing a brand-new weekly show with NASCAR that’s worth your attention. Big-picture moves, long-term stability, and some real pressure building under the surface.

  • Is locking Carson Hocevar into a long-term deal the right move for both Spire and Hocevar, or a risky commitment by modern NASCAR standards?
  • Has Spire Motorsports quietly positioned itself to become a legitimate top-tier contender in the Next Gen era?
  • With Corey Heim getting 12 Cup starts, how close is he really to a full-time Cup seat, and where could it realistically open up?
  • After Denny Hamlin’s comments, is Riley Herbst officially on the hot seat at 23XI Racing?

Between long-term contracts, development drivers knocking on the door, and teams balancing patience with performance, this episode digs into how fragile and fast-moving Cup careers really are. Stability sounds great, until opportunity comes calling. And sometimes, it doesn’t knock twice.
