Corey LaJoie, a NASCAR driver, has yet to secure a full-time ride for the 2025 season. While initially expected to drive the No. 51 car for Rick Ware Racing (RWR), recent reports from journalist Bob Pockrass suggest that Cody Ware might take the wheel instead.
LaJoie competed in the final seven races of 2024 with RWR’s No. 51 car but struggled to achieve strong results. His best finish during this stint was 14th place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in October. Earlier in the season, LaJoie faced a sudden shakeup when Justin Haley replaced him in the No. 7 car at Spire Motorsports, adding to the challenges in his campaign.
The No. 51 car is currently RWR’s only chartered entry, as the team has leased its second charter to RFK Racing. RFK, which is expanding to a three-car operation in 2025, has announced that former Stewart-Haas Racing driver Ryan Preece will drive the No. 60 car full-time for the organization led by Brad Keselowski.
As the upcoming season approaches, LaJoie’s future in NASCAR remains uncertain. Most competitive opportunities in the Cup Series, as well as the Xfinity and Truck Series, have already been filled, leaving limited options for the 33-year-old driver. With few seats remaining across NASCAR’s top divisions, LaJoie’s prospects for a full-time ride in 2025 appear increasingly uncertain, putting his career in a precarious position.
