On his podcast, Sunday Money, NASCAR driver Corey LaJoie announced he would be driving the No. 32 Ford of Go Fas Racing in 2020.<\/p>\n
The announcement on Tuesday means the driver will return to the team for a second season.<\/p>\n
” I don\u2019t know if everybody was expecting that because it took a little while to get done, a little longer than both sides probably would have liked,\u201d LaJoie said on the podcast by Motor Racing Network. \u201cI\u2019m \u2026 super excited to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deal is for one year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got a baby on the way and a lot of diapers to pay for and I need to be driving around in circles,\u201d LaJoie said.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Owner) Archie (St. Hilaire) likes doing one-year deals, which I think is OK because things can change periodically, right?\u201d LaJoie said on the podcast. \u201cI think this is a crazy, crazy time in the sport with people retiring or moving around. The best I can figure, there\u2019s probably only legitimately seven or eight cars that have their drivers committed for 2021. Everybody else is up in the air. So hopefully I can position myself the following year to be in something really good. But I am concentrated fully on 2020 with Go Fas.\u201d<\/p>\n
A new technical alliance with Stewart-Haas Racing figures to aid LaJoie’s efforts for 2020.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got some Stewart-Haas cars coming into the shop today,\u201d LaJoie said. \u201cI\u2019ve heard they\u2019re going to get two complete cars. Rolling, no motor. \u2026 It will have current suspension, rear end, truck arms. I would hope it will be pretty close to what they would send to the race track. That remains to be seen. \u2026 They\u2019ll definitely be better than the four-year-old Front Row-Roush cars \u2026 The newer cars we had were four years old.\u201d<\/p>\n
LaJoie will need to find a new crew chief however.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re talking obviously with the Stewart-Haas Xfinity guys, nobody really knows what\u2019s going to go on there,\u201d LaJoie said.<\/p>\n
While other offers did present themselves, LaJoie opted to remain in a position he felt most comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s lots of stuff involved in that, there\u2019s lots of stuff involved in all the deals, I just felt like the best team to go with and the best continuity and the best relationships I\u2019ve had was to go back to the 32,\u201d LaJoie said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
