LaJoie has turned heads
in 2013 after making three trips to Victory Lane in just five ARCA Racing
Series starts. The wins have showcased the bright future of the 22-year-old who
has also competed in the NASCAR K&N East Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified
Series before joining the RPM organization earlier this year. Since 2009,
LaJoie has 35 starts in the K&N East Series. In those 35 starts, he's
accumulated five wins, 17 top-five finishes, 20 top-10 finishes and one pole.
LaJoie also has a total of six ARCA starts since 2009, earning a total of three
wins and four top-five finishes.
LaJoie will carry the
colors of Victory Junction, a year-round camping facility that serves children,
ages 6 to 16, with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses. During the
summer, Victory Junction offers disease-specific sessions with up to 128
children per session. During the fall, winter and spring, family weekends are
offered to up to 32 families per weekend. Victory Junction is a member of the
SeriousFun Network founded by Paul Newman and is accredited by the rigorous
guidelines of the American Camping Association. The camp was found to honor the
memory of Adam Petty.
"I feel really
blessed and excited to make my debut at Homestead. I feel like I've been ready
for this for a couple of years but finally everything is falling into place.
I'm happy it's with a great organization like RPM, and I couldn't be
more excited to represent them on and off the race track.
"I haven't been to
Homestead, but it's a fast mile-and-a-half track like Kansas or Chicago. I know
the competition will be tougher too. There are a lot of good teams and drivers
competing in the Nationwide Series, with RPM being one of them. I'll be able to
lean on my RPM teammates, on the Nationwide and Cup level. I'm going to soak it
all in.
"I'm proud to be racing the Victory Junction Ford this
weekend. Everyone knows what the camp means to the Petty family. It's an honor
for me to be supporting this special place this weekend. It's been a lot of fun
so far just getting ready for this race. You know, I'm excited about it. It's
going to be good time, and I want to go out and do my best."
good luck,cory
