MOORESVILLE, N.C. Hendrick Motorsports drivers Kyle Larson and William Byron will split time behind the wheel of Spire Motorsports No. 07 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Silverado in a trifecta of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races this year.

Larson will race the No. 07 Chevy Silverado in the March 21 Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway and return to the cockpit two races later for the April 11 event at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

Byron, will thread the needle between Larsons two stints and handle the driving chores for the Allen Hart-led program March 28 at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. Byron returns the site of his most recent Craftsman Truck Series win where, ironically, he collected Spire Motorsports inaugural victory in the division.

Both Hendrick Motorsports drivers have picked up checkered flags in Truck Series competition for the Mooresville, N.C., organization over the last three seasons.

Kyle Larson and William Byron will pilot a Spire Motorsports entry for three races.

One of the coolest things of having a Craftsman Truck Series team is to have the crossover from Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group, said Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson. Weve had all their drivers in our trucks from time to time, and to have two guys in William (Byron) and Kyle (Larson), who have won races with us back in the seat, certainly gives the team a little more pep in our step.

It also raises the bar for those races to win or bust. You dont show up with those guys to do anything else but win.

Larson and Byron will be part of a HendrickCars.com trio of Spire Motorsports-prepared entries at all three events. In addition to the No. 07 machine, Rajah Caruth will sport his traditional HendrickCars.com paint scheme aboard his No. 71 Chevy while Larsons fellow Hendrick Motorsports stablemate Corey Day will pilot the teams No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado, featuring an identical livery.

The 32-year-old Larson, often referred to as Yung Money, owns three Homestead Craftsman Truck Series starts where he tallied one pole and a pair of top fives, including a second-place finish in the 2014 season finale.

Larson made his lone Bristol start in Truck Series competition in 2021 when the famed half-mile was covered in dirt. Regrettably, he was saddled with a 35th-place after being collected in an incident just past the halfway mark of the 150-lap event.

I love racing at Homestead-Miami (Speedway) and Bristol (Motor Speedway), so Im excited to add those Truck races to my schedule, said Larson. Hopefully, we can put on a great show with HendrickCars.com on board and battle for the victories in the Spire truck.

In addition to his success in the Cup Series, Byron was highly accomplished on the Craftsman Truck Series side of the sport and lays claims to eight victories across 29 starts seven of which came during the 2016 season.

Meanwhile, the Charlotte, N.C., native owns two Martinsville wins on NASCAR grandest stage, where he secured the historic half-miles famed grandfather clock trophy in spring of 2022 and 2024.

Im excited to get back to the Truck Series, said Byron. Its been a couple years for me so Im ready to try it again. Plus, the last time I ran a truck at Martinsville we won. Hopefully, we can do that again because it really paid off for us on the Cup side of things. Spire is a great group, and Im excited to work with them again.
