NASCAR Cup Series returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the season’s regular points races after Sunday’s exhibition event.
On Tuesday, Corey LaJoie revealed that his Spire Motorsports’ No.7 Chevrolet will run the USO paint scheme livery this weekend for the 63rd running of the Coca-Cola 600. The 30-year-old driver has partnered with USO to pay tribute to the men and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the United States Military.
The No.7 Chevrolet has a blue painted base with white, gray, and red camo. It also features the USO logo on the hood, deck lid, and sides. The front windshield of the car features the name of Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, who died in the line of duty on August 26, 2021.
Speaking about the partnership, LaJoie said that representing the USO and Coca-Cola is a dream come true moment. He went on to say that NASCAR’s longest race was his favorite event of the season.
He said:
“Representing the USO on Memorial Day weekend is a dream come true. The Coca-Cola 600 is one of my favorite races on the schedule, as well as my home race. The opportunity to partner with the USO and Coca-Cola allows us to really show the service members and their families a great time at the track while remembering the brave men and women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.”
The Spire Motorsports driver has eight previous NASCAR Cup Series starts at the 1.5-mile-long Charlotte Motor Speedway.
