MOORESVILLE, N.C. — IKEA, the leading furniture solutions brand with the vision to create a better everyday life for its customers, will partner with Spire Motorsports and 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year Carson Hocevar in an associate-sponsor capacity for three races this season.
IKEA will be showcased aboard Hocevar’s No. 77 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in NASCAR’s premier division beginning May 3 at Texas Motor Speedway where he secured his first pole award last May.
Later in the season, IKEA will return at Atlanta Motor Speedway in July and again at Kansas Speedway in September.
“It’s really cool to have IKEA partner with Spire Motorsports on the Cup Series’ side of the sport and it’s great to see another major brand keep growing with us,” said Hocevar. “Everyone I met from IKEA at Daytona were really nice and super fun to be around. They will be with us for a few races where we’ve run well in the past so hopefully, we can reward their faith in us with a checkered flag.”
Nine races into the season, Hocevar has logged two top-five finishes and sits 12th in the series’ point standings. Last year, he earned two top-five and nine top-10 results, including a pair of career-best runners-up finishes at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway during his sophomore campaign.
IKEA was first aboard a Spire Motorsports entry as a co-primary sponsor in February’s season-opening NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Daytona International Speedway where Hocevar qualified fourth and paced the field for 20 circuits.
