In a surprise move, Corey LaJoie and Justin Haley will swap NASCAR teams mid-season, with LaJoie heading to Rick Ware Racing and Haley returning to Spire Motorsports

Spire Motorsports and Rick Ware Racing said Friday that the two teams will swap drivers Justin Haley and Corey LaJoie, starting next week.

Spire co-owner Jeff Dickerson confirmed that Haley will continue into 2025 to drive its No. 7 car full time. Although RWR did not confirm that LaJoie would remain with the team beyond the final seven races of this season, LaJoie is considered the leading contender to do so, according to sources briefed on the situation.
