Former full-time NASCAR Cup Series driver Corey LaJoie recently faced backlash on X over a remark he made on the Truck Series. LaJoie was recently featured on the Stacking Pennies podcast and discussed his plans following his release from Spire Motorsports.In the 2025 season, the NASCAR driver has competed in four Cup Series races with Rick Ware Racing driving the #01 Ford Mustang Dark Horse and nine races in the Truck Series for Spire Motorsports. Following his release, LaJoie hosted the Monday episode of Stacking Pennies and claimed that he aims to start his own carbon fiber business.Additionally, Corey LaJoie highlighted that he will not compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. However, this doesn't mean LaJoie is ready to give up competing in NASCAR. He further pointed out that he will be wide open to compete in the Daytona 500. He stated (via TobyChristie.com):“I’ll entertain DAYTONA 500 offers because I think I can compete for a win in a decent car there, and made the race the hard way a couple of times. So, I think I bring some value to a team, and you could also make about a year’s worth of pay in one week. So, I’ll look at that, but yeah, like Truck Series offers, I’m not entertaining.”Following this remark, Corey LaJoie faced backlash for his remark, with one fan saying:"lol I wish I had a third of the confidence he has in himself"Nic 🤘🏻 @ku_uh_napLINK@joe_srigley @CoreyLaJoie lol I wish I had a third of the confidence he has in himself 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Another joined in the comments and criticized LaJoie:"He has as many wins as myself in the top three series but acts like he has options"Real Deal Aneil @realdealAneilLINK@joe_srigley @CoreyLaJoie He has as many wins as myself in the top three series but acts like he has optionsHere are some more reactions to the post:"Bro could totally go win truck races and contend for a title but nah lol," and X user wrote.dwest @dwest___LINK@joe_srigley @CoreyLaJoie Bro could totally go win truck races and contend for a title but nah lol"How many times can you bet on yourself, lose, and keep acting this way?" a NASCAR enthusiast commented.Ryan (C) @rdq_33LINK@joe_srigley @CoreyLaJoie How many times can you bet on yourself, lose, and keep acting this way?"bruh tf did the truck series ever do to you bro??…" a motorsports fanatic questioned.DennyDeliversYT 📦 @DennyDelivers2LINK@joe_srigley @CoreyLaJoie bruh tf did the truck series ever do to you bro??… 😭😭💀💀💀"So LaJoie is not going to RAM i guess," an X user commented.The Pacecar Boys @pacecarboysLINK@joe_srigley @CoreyLaJoie So LaJoie is not going to RAM i guess.Corey LaJoie has completed 276 starts in the NASCAR Cup Series and has yet to secure his maiden win.
