Taking a closer look at Corey Lajoie’s wild ride at Talladega
Corey LaJoie, driving the No. 7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports, found himself in a chaotic situation during the race at the tri-oval track. When Michael McDowell crashed from the lead, causing a domino effect of cars spinning in all directions, LaJoie attempted to navigate through the smoke but got caught in the mayhem. His car was ultimately sandwiched between two Stewart-Haas Racing drivers, with his vehicle turning upside down and briefly being pinned between the other cars. Despite the intense crash and the car ending up on its side against the wall, LaJoie’s car continued moving forward until it crossed the finish line intertwined with another car. Thankfully, LaJoie emerged from the wreck uninjured, although the incident marked the first airborne wreck of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season. Reflecting on the ordeal, LaJoie described the harrowing experience and admitted that while physically he was a little sore, his pride took a bigger hit from the unfortunate turn of events.
