MINER, the self-perform national service partner for smarter, safer loading docks, will return to Spire Motorsports as a multi-race primary sponsor of third-year NASCAR Cup Series driver Carson Hocevar and the No. 77 Chevrolet this season.
The company, which is the exclusive dock and door service provider of Spire Motorsports and its facilities, first partnered with Hocevar for a three-race campaign last season, and will do so again in 2026, beginning at Phoenix Raceway on March 8.
Going for high-vis in 2026.
We’re welcoming back @MinerCorp as a primary partner of @CarsonHocevar for three races this season.

Hocevar will be carrying the brand’s vibrant colors twice more throughout the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series campaign, first during All-Star Weekend at Dover Motor Speedway (May 17) and then for the August 29 event at Daytona International Speedway.
Per a team release, MINER will partner with Spire Motorsports for the next three years.
“Our partnership with Spire and the No. 77 team has delivered exceptional results for our organization,” said Dave Wright, President of MINER Ltd. “Carson Hocevar represents the competitiveness, professionalism, and commitment to safety that matter deeply to our people, our customers, and our partners. We’re excited to continue building this relationship with Carson and Spire over the next three years.”
The San Antonio, Texas-headquartered organization specializes in installing, repairing, and maintaining critical logistics equipment – including warehouse dock doors and levelers, commercial sectional overhead doors, HVLS fans, and related facility accessories. MINER delivers unparalleled service and expertise, ensuring facilities have access to innovative solutions that drive efficiency, reliability, and safety.
“We had a great time with all the people from MINER last year, and I’m eager to continue this partnership in 2026 and beyond,” said Carson Hocevar, driver of the No. 77 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series. “The MINER paint scheme is one of my favorites. My friends constantly remind me how much they like that livery, and I’m stoked to show everyone what they’ve cooked up for this year.”
Carson Hocevar, a native of Portage, Michigan, is entering his third full-time campaign in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 77 Chevrolet, and is looking to have a breakout season. The 22-year-old driver had a breakout season on the circuit last year with a pair of top-five finishes — both runner-up results– and a career-best nine top-10s.
The NASCAR Cup Series event at Phoenix Raceway, the debut event for MINER on the No. 77 Chevrolet in 2026, will take place on Sunday, March 8 at 3:30 PM ET on FS1, Motor Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
