NASCAR free agency: What we're hearing on Justin Haley, Daniel Suárez and more

The expectation going into this year's NASCAR 'Silly Season,' the annual free agency period in which drivers and teams solidify their plans for the following year, was that this would be the quietest in some time. Weeks after The Athletic published its first Silly Season report, the landscape remains rather staid. Thus far, Trackhouse announcing Daniel Suárez won't return in 2026 has been the biggest transaction — and it was a move long expected with Trackhouse having 19-year-old wonderkid Connor Zilisch waiting in the wings. Advertisement But even though Silly Season may be less eventful than usual — especially compared to recent years that featured a slew of big names switching teams and future Hall of Famers retiring — there are still some unknowns. Here's the latest on where things stand based on conversations with over a dozen industry sources. There is no hotter seat in the garage than Justin Haley's. How could it not be scorching, considering the performance disparity between him and his two Spire Motorsports teammates? Carson Hocevar and Michael McDowell each have been regularly competitive and close to winning. 'Obviously, it's been a pretty difficult season, in general, with where we are in the points standing and kind of what we've gone through,' Haley said last month, a day before finishing 11th in the Brickyard 400. 'Definitely not what I expected when I started in Daytona, to go through all we've been through. But just trying to find a little bit of a silver lining and get some good finishes by the end of the year.' Spire changed Haley's crew chief in the spring, going from Rodney Childers to Ryan Sparks, hoping the enthusiastic Sparks would help motivate a mild-mannered driver who sometimes struggles with confidence. But while there have been flashes of Haley fulfilling the promise that once had bigger teams eyeing him — like his run of three straight finishes inside the top 20, which ended Sunday in Iowa — he still has a long way to go to match Hocevar and McDowell. That ticking sound you hear is the clock counting down on the time Haley has left to improve himself. Spire's ownership group has been candid that it wants to see results from its sizable investment in the team. If Haley doesn't show considerable improvement, don't be shocked if Spire opts to go in a different direction, maybe even before the season is out. Right now, the biggest thing Haley has working in his favor is a lack of a replacement option that Spire views as an obvious upgrade. But should one emerge, and Haley continues to struggle, that clock on his tenure at Spire will likely hit zero. The big name on the free agency block is Suárez, who won't be returning to Trackhouse after both parties announced a 'mutual parting' earlier this month. Unfortunately for Suárez, he's entering free agency at a time when not a lot of viable options exist. Nearly all 36 full-time seats are already taken for next season. This is why many within the industry thought Suárez's best opportunity to reset his career was to take a ride in NASCAR's second-tier Xfinity Series, likely with Kaulig Racing or JR Motorsports, then reenter free agency a year from now in what is anticipated to be a much more robust market. Advertisement But Suárez is adamant that he wants to stay in Cup, believing a quality ride will materialize somehow, even if everything appears set. And the two-time Cup race winner and 2016 Xfinity champion may prove correct in his assertion. One potential option is if Spire elects to move on from Haley. Signing Suárez would give Spire a veteran who has won multiple races and would be highly motivated to prove he deserves to remain in Cup. Among the hurdles to overcome for such a deal — beyond Haley still being the driver of the No. 7 car — is whether Suárez represents a true upgrade over Haley. Suárez also would likely prefer the security of a multi-year contract, while Spire may want to keep its options open to pursue any one of several big-name drivers whose contracts are up at the end of the 2026 season. Although nothing has been officially announced, it's a given that Trackhouse will promote Connor Zilisch from Xfinity to replace the departing Suárez, according to sources involved with the team's plans. Such a move is a no-brainer considering how much Zilisch has dazzled in his first season in Xfinity. The rookie leads all drivers in wins and is currently riding a streak of 10 consecutive top-five finishes. His performance has created a lasting impression, even though he arrived with sizable expectations on his shoulders. JRM co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., who Zilisch drives for in Xfinity, offered emphatic praise for the 19-year-old after he won Saturday's race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 'We're all kind of on the front end of witnessing this really incredible career,' Earnhardt said. '… It's almost whatever he wants to do. He has the potential to do incredible, incredible Hall-of-Fame-worthy things.' Dodge's much-anticipated return to the Truck Series next season, along with its plans to eventually re-enter Cup, means the manufacturer is going to need to sign teams. Dodge has had conversations with several parties representing teams, both existing and prospective, including at least one current Cup organization. The consensus within the garage is that Dodge would be best served by aligning with an already operational team that knows the ins and outs of NASCAR, helping to mitigate the typical issues that inevitably arise when a new manufacturer comes in. Advertisement Expect substantial movement on this soon. Even though Denny Hamlin was on an expiring contract, it was no shock that Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing announced last month a contract extension that keeps him with the only team he's ever known through the 2027 season. So why are Hamlin and JGR on this list? Because Hamlin made it clear he expects this to be his final contract, and the possibility he retires in two years is very real. Thus begins the process for JGR to begin identifying Hamlin's eventual replacement and then implementing that succession plan. The good news for JGR is that it has ample runway and doesn't need to be in a rush. It also helps that Toyota has several promising young drivers in its pipeline — most notably Brent Crews — should it choose to go this route. JGR is also an elite organization, making it a destination spot for any talented driver who wants to contend for championships. And as noted above, several big-name drivers have contracts coming up for renewal over the next couple of years. Inside the garage, the talk is already ramping up over who may be driving the No. 11 Toyota in 2028. (Top photo of Justin Haley: David J. Griffin / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)
