LaJoie, who is a
development driver for RPM, has one win in the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified
Series, five wins in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and three wins in the
ARCA Racing Series. The son of NASCAR champion Randy LaJoie, Corey has
five starts in NASCAR's national series, with a Top-10 finish in the NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series earlier this year at Bristol.
"I have to thank both RPM
and Biagi-DenBenste Racing for giving me the opportunity to put four races
together in the Nationwide Series," said LaJoie. "This is a
very good car with good people supporting it. They are a proven team that
is capable of finishing in the Top-Five. These races will be another
great opportunity to advance my learning curve on the bigger tracks and with
cars with more horsepower."
Biagi-DenBeste
Racing has made 11
starts with a best finish of fourth scored by David Ragan. RPM driver Aric
Amirola has most recently raced the car at Chicagoland and Dover. LaJoie has
one start with the team this season and finished 15th at the
Kentucky Speedway.
"Corey has shown that he
learns very quickly on the track," said Fred Biagi Co-Owner of
Biagi-DenBeste Racing. "Our first race together we finished 15th in only his
second Nationwide Series start. We feel that we can compete in the Top-10
and Top-Five in these four races with Corey and that's our goal."
Wished Johanna Long had received this chance. Polioits in racing like everything else.
