Corey LaJoie is looking for a new home as teams prepare their driver lineups for the 2025 NASCAR season, Spire Motorsports previously announced that LaJoie will not return behind the wheel of the No. 7 Cup in 2025, despite having a contract for next season.
So which NASAR teams could sign the 32-year-old? There hasn’t been much movement at the moment, but two teams have been mentioned. Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports mentioned Kaulig Racing and Rick Ware Racing when discussing teams that might consider signing LaJoie.
Both NASCAR Cup Series organizations have two full-time driver cards, so LaJoie could fit in with the other team on a part-time or full-time basis. It would be a good idea if he wants to stay in the Cup Series. Alternatively, LaJoie could aim for a competitive outfit in the NASCAR Xfinity or Truck Series, but there is a risk. It’s hard to recover when a full-time Cup Series driver goes down. Cole Custer and John Hunter Nemechek achieved this fact, but it is not an exact science. LaJoie may have many options, but not all of them can make it to the Cup Series.
