[autotag]Corey LaJoie[/autotag]’s partnership with [autotag]Spire Motorsports[/autotag] will be coming to an end after the 2024 NASCAR season. According to The Athletic’s Jordan Bianchi, LaJoie will not return to the No. 7 Cup car for Spire Motorsports in 2025. The 32-year-old driver joined Spire Motorsports in 2021 and has four top-5 finishes and six top-10 finishes since then.
LaJoie has struggled in 2024, as he sits 28th in the point standings. Carson Hocevar, LaJoie’s teammate, is 24th in the point standings and sits 59 points above him as a rookie driver. It was previously announced that Rodney Childers would be LaJoie’s crew chief for the 2025 NASCAR season, but the team will now look for a new driver.
Spire Motorsports has several options available, such as Rajah Caruth and Chase Purdy, in the NASCAR Truck Series, but LaJoie’s future is more uncertain. It would be better for LaJoie to move to a different series and run competitively. LaJoie hasn’t won in the top 3 levels of NASCAR, and competitive equipment would be a good option in the lower series.
