Daniel Suarez’s future is set, and NASCAR’s biggest race is moving. The 2027 Daytona 500 won’t clash with the Super Bowl anymore, while Suarez lands a fresh start with Spire Motorsports in the No. 7 Chevrolet. Eric Estepp breaks it all down, including what this means for Spire’s growing lineup and Suarez’s shot at redemption. Besides, Groovy Hollow is back next Tuesday night, so mark your calendars for some frightful fun and racing for a good cause.

Why did NASCAR have to move the 2027 Daytona 500, and what does it mean for the rest of that season’s schedule?
Can Daniel Suarez really turn things around after losing his Trackhouse ride to Connor Zilisch?
How big of a gamble is Spire taking, and what can Hendrick engines do to boost Suarez’s performance?
And with Carson Hocevar and Michael McDowell as teammates, will Spire’s new trio push each other forward—or clash under pressure?

Daniel Suarez brings experience, personality, and trophies to Spire, but whether this partnership finally lets him step out of the shadows remains to be seen. NASCAR’s silly season keeps on giving, and this move might be one of its most fascinating yet.
