This weekend’s NASCAR Cup race at EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta) will have a full field of 40 cars, including the No. 01 Rick Ware Racing Ford with Corey LaJoie driving for his fourth start of the 2025 season. LaJoie has recently been an analyst for Prime Video, which has shifted his perspective as a driver.
Being behind the wheel can feel isolating due to the pressure of meeting expectations, but LaJoie’s TV experience has helped him focus more on enjoying the race rather than being consumed by outcomes. He aims to simply savor the experience at the upcoming Atlanta race, where he has come close to victory in the past.
LaJoie’s schedule this year includes limited Cup starts, along with competing in NASCAR Truck and Modified races and hosting a podcast. Despite never winning in his 275 Cup Series starts, Atlanta holds significance for LaJoie, offering a potential breakthrough opportunity due to its fast-paced nature.
