Justin Haley Benefits in Qualifying From Spire Motorsports Speed
4 weeks agoJustin Haley delivered his best qualifying run of the season at Homestead yesterday when he qualified 10th. The Spire Motorsports cars are obviously faster in qualifying than the Rick Ware Racing cars, but Ryan Sparks is a worse crew chief than Chris Lawson and seems to struggle with setups as a race progresses. As a result, Haley is really running not much differently at Spire than he was at Ware even if the cars are faster. Nonetheless, Haley is good at holding his position and rarely finishes worse than he starts. While he'll likely do so today as all his previous finishes at Homestead have been in the 20s and intermediates don't seem to be one of his best track types, the speed of Spire's cars should keep him on the lead lap all day and he'll likely finish around 15th.
