Corey LaJoi, Concord, NC to make Sprint Cup debut this weekend at Loudon,NH and with 43 race cars pre-registered should get in. Randy Humphrey Racing ride will come less than a week before his 23rd birthday. Corey is the son of former two time champion Randy LaJoi and the president of the www.Joieofseating.net  Randi was a guest on our radio show "Race Chatter" a few weeks back. Young LaJoi is a development driver for Richard Petty Motorsports but the race team has not found sponsorship for him yet for the 2015 racing season.
LaJoi has run one Nationwide race this season and placed 21st at Kentucky out of 40 race cars. LaJoi has also run two Camping World Truck Series races in 2014. He finished 15th at Kentucky and a super 10th at Bristol in the Ford. LaJoi said in a interview he is unsure of his plans beyond this week. If things go well, he could be in line for rides with Randy Humphrey Racing at Kansas, Charlotte and Texas.
He is also seeking rides at Kansas and Charlotte in the Nationwide Series "It does seem like things are opening up,
 If I get a solid run...and bring it home in one piece who knows what will happen."
Richard Petty is looking for a new shoe for one of his cup teams for 2015 with Marcus Ambrose leaving. ? We will be rooting for Corey LaJoi  or young Tyler Reddick for the ride.
