In a shocking turn of events, Rodney Childers has made a sudden departure from Spire Motorsports, leaving NASCAR fans in disbelief and creating a pivotal void as Justin Haley’s crew chief for the No. 7 Chevrolet. Childers, boasting over two decades of experience as a crew chief and clinching a remarkable 40 wins along with the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series championship with Kevin Harvick, seemed to have found a new home at Spire. However, after just nine races, challenges in the team dynamic led to a surprising split between Childers and Spire, with both parties agreeing that the partnership was not fruitful.

But the drama doesn’t end there. Less than 24 hours later, a new development emerged, revealing that Ryan Sparks, the current Director of Competition for the team, will step into the crucial role of crew chief for Justin Haley for the remainder of the 2025 season. Sparks, who is no stranger to the pressure of being a crew chief, will also maintain his position as the Director of Competition, showcasing his ability to handle dual responsibilities effectively.

Having joined Spire in 2021 alongside Corey LaJoie, Sparks brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously served as LaJoie’s crew chief before transitioning to work with Haley towards the end of the 2024 season. With 175 Cup races under his belt, Sparks has secured three top-five finishes and nine top-ten finishes, demonstrating his capabilities in the high-stakes world of NASCAR.

Stay tuned as this dynamic duo aims to defy the odds and carve out a path to victory in the competitive realm of NASCAR.
