“Due to COVID-19 protocols, Corey LaJoie, driver of the No. 7 NationsGuard Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, will be unavailable to participate in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Firekeepers Casino 400 and will not travel to Michigan International Speedway,” the team said in a statement.

Berry has pieced together an Xfinity Series season spending three races with Jordan Anderson’s team in addition to 13 starts for JR Motorsports this season.
