MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Modo Casino will expand its partnership with Spire Motorsports beginning with the 68th running of the Daytona 500 where the premier free-to-play social+ gaming platform by ARB Interactive will serve as the primary sponsor of Michael McDowell’s No. 71 Chevrolet.
“Building on the energy we generated in 2025, we are thrilled to significantly expand our footprint with Spire Motorsports for the 2026 season,” said David Jumper, Chief Marketing Officer, ARB Interactive. “Seeing our branding on Carson Hocevar’s car for four races last year was just the beginning; moving into 2026, we are proud to support multiple drivers across the Cup Series, from the iconic Daytona 500 to the finale in our hometown of Miami.”
Modo Casino lets players compete for free-to-win prizes, including cash and experiences. Using free coins, online versions of top slots and table games such as “Live Roulette” and “Blackjack” can be played with the opportunity to redeem winnings as real prizes, along with a special sign-up bonus when new players join.
“Modo Casino came into NASCAR last year with real energy, and the fans noticed,” said Bill Anthony, President, Spire Motorsports. “Beyond the bold paint schemes, they’re focused on building a social gaming platform that appeals to a broad audience. That kind of approach, showing up, engaging authentically, and delivering a compelling experience, is how brands earn lasting loyalty. We’re excited to expand the partnership and help Modo keep growing its community throughout 2026.”
The partnership between Modo Casino and Spire Motorsports began in 2025, introducing the most passionate fans in motorsports to the company’s most popular online games.
“Partnering with Modo Casino for the Daytona 500 is so special for the growth of Spire Motorsports and the Modo brand,” said McDowell. “After a successful year with Carson in 2025, I’ll represent Modo Casino with pride while I compete for my second Daytona 500 win. NASCAR fans live on competition and community, and Modo Casino is the perfect fit to connect with some of the most brand-loyal fans in the world.”
