NASCAR Cup Series spotter Eddie D’Hondt will move to the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet with driver Justin Haley starting in 2025, he announced Friday on social media.
D’Hondt currently spots for the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford for Josh Berry. With SHR’s impending closure and Berry’s next move signed to join Wood Brothers Racing next season, D’Hondt will stick with crew chief Rodney Childers in a pivot to the No. 7 Chevrolet.

As the result of a trade between Spire and Rick Ware Racing, Haley joined the No. 7 team starting at Kansas Speedway on Sept. 29 and signed a multiyear deal with the team. D’Hondt also announced his shift to Spire on a multiyear basis.
