My best opinion of choice would be to see JHN end up at Spire. That team has the potential at least in the midfield. They have two charters now off the former Toyota affiliate Cup teams. And He would not hesitate going there. Rather than the likes of JTG, BJ McLeod, Gaunt, Rick Ware. And I do expect to see the expanded lineup completed with Corey LaJoie. He and JHN is a perfect youth and experience pairing that Spire needs to move forward. And then crack Top 15s over time with the Gen 7 era in 2022. That is what they are for. and Corey & John Hunter would not mind joining their project. Gutted to see him leave Front Row. But he deserves his opportunity considering he was a regular Top 10 runner in Xfinity/Trucks before.
