Corey LaJoie
Corey Daniel LaJoie[1] (born September 25, 1991) is an American professional stock car racing driver and analyst for NASCAR on Prime Video.[7] LaJoie, who had been named to the 2012 NASCAR Next class of up-and-coming drivers,[8] entered the 2013 season with only a limited schedule planned, including selected NASCAR Nationwide Series races for Tommy Baldwin Racing,[9] however in June it was announced that he had signed with Richard Petty Motorsports as a development driver, with plans to run in the Nationwide Series later that year.[15] Trailing Reed Sorenson, the only other Open driver, with under fifteen laps to go, LaJoie spun out Sorenson in the tri-oval, ensuring himself a spot in the 500[16] and making Paul Menard start at the back of the field as Menard was also involved in the crash and had to start in a backup car.Sorenson was incensed after the incident, calling the crash "moronic" and "pretty crappy" while saying that LaJoie could have hurt somebody with reckless driving.He made his second start for the team at ISM Raceway in March, once again blowing an engine early in the race.[21][22] He scored two top tens during the year with a sixth at Daytona's Coke Zero Sugar 400 and seventh at Talladega's 1000Bulbs.com 500.[29] On March 15, 2022, crew chief Ryan Sparks was suspended for four races due to a tire and wheel loss during the 2022 Ruoff Mortgage 500 at Phoenix.[30] At Atlanta, LaJoie led a career-best 19 laps and was on his way to claiming his first career win with two laps to go when Chase Elliott overtook him and blocked him on the high side, causing him to brush the wall and spin before colliding with Kurt Busch and finishing the race in 21st place.Going down the backstretch, LaJoie pulled to the inside of Noah Gragson to attempt a pass following several laps of intense racing between the two.The car caught air on the apron of the track, blew over onto its roof, and slid upside down for some time.[38] Following LaJoie's incident, NASCAR implemented a new side air deflector for the upcoming Coke Zero Sugar 400.[39] LaJoie would score a top 10 at Darlington, his first ever at a non-drafting track, in the regular season finale, but still finished outside of Playoff contention.The next week at Atlanta in the Playoff opener, LaJoie would finish 15th after narrowly avoiding a multi-car accident in turn 4 on the final lap.
