Spire Motorsports DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 Race Report 2026

Spire Motorsports drivers Carson Hocevar and Connor Mosack earned top-10 finishes in Saturday’s DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway.

Hocevar led nine times for a race-high 65 laps in the No. 77 Zeigler Auto Group Chevrolet Silverado RST and finished third and second in the first two stages, respectively. Debris on the grille caused the No. 77 to overheat late in the race, resulting in a third-place finish for the Portage, Michigan, native. It marked his best finish in two starts at his home track. Mosack secured an eighth-place finish in the No. 7 Friends of Jaclyn Chevrolet Silverado RST despite battling a tight condition and reporting a vibration late in Stage 2. The North Carolina native finished 11th and 13th in the opening two stages and worked his way back through the field after a slow pit stop in the final stage. The result marked his third top-10 finish in four starts this season and his best finish in two starts at Michigan.

After 12 races, the No. 7 team sits fourth in the owner points standings, while the No. 77 team moved up one position to ninth.

The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series returns to action in two weeks for the series' inaugural race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego on Friday, June 19. The 50-lap race around the 3.4-mile street course will be televised live on FS1 at 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The 13th of 25 points-paying races on the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series calendar will be broadcast live on the NASCAR Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.

Connor's Post-Race Comments
“We ended up P8 here at Michigan. We had a decent Chevrolet Silverado all day, but struggled a little bit in traffic with balance. Once we got clean air there at the end, I felt like we were really solid and were able to pick the single trucks off one at a time and carve our way back to eighth place. Overall, nothing fancy, but an even day. We’ll take it, learn from it and move on to San Diego."

Carson's Post-Race Comments
“I had to let [Corey Heim] go to get a debris off the grille, so I was just overheating the whole time, but I got tight anyways in traffic. Our pit stops were really good and everybody on this truck did a really good job working on it and finding the speed we needed. Just sucks that we didn't close it out there. I felt like I could have done a better job, but I don't know what I could have done differently yet. There's a lot of family here, and it's my mom's birthday... there's a lot of reasons to want to win here at Michigan."
