Let’s Go Good For You, Corey
He’s not even that far below the cut line which is crazy
That’s because the cut line is 16. No full time driver is that far below it. :’D
@JBtheExplorer2
Ty Dillon
The biggest W ever for Lajoie
As A Chase Fan LETS GO COREY YOU ARE THE SHOW FOR SUNDAY BABY
We will see if he can get a full time opportunity for next year with this run…
What a great opportunity for Corey!
A one race opportunity may ruin his chance to make the playoffs. I have no idea how his team agreed to this.
This is awesome new for Corey!!! Wonder who Spire will peg to drive the 7. Think they’ll have Hocevar give it a shot? He looked good in the Xfinity race yesterday and Xfinity is in Portland, so it would almost have to be a truck driver (or someone from the outside)
I wouldnt be surprised if they do someone like Matt Dibedideto
Hocevar.
Why wouldn’t they just bring up Josh Berry again?
@James H Portland.
Rick Hendrick never forgets man. I got so much respect for him. Very good business man, ultra competitive, but always takes care of his people and understands the sport is bigger than any one person or team
Go Corey,he’ll see whether he’s the real deal or not,I think he’ll probably do OK.
Rick Hendrick always takes care of his people? Hendrick killed one of his long loyal customers
Well said Noah
@TORPEDOZ I amen I agree he knew about the weather and was told by pilots not to fly out that day and he told them they had to so he killed more than one and it was his own family
@jason jason Do you have documentation to back up that claim?
so happy for you brother,,youve worked hard for this go make your mark
I’m so excited to see Corey get a shot in top equipment. Lets go!!!!
I hope Corey does amazing in that better equipment. He deserves it
Huge fan of him. Super excited to see Corey in a competitive car. On the opposite side, the Spire 7 team gave Alex Bowman hell last night not giving room to get out of the box. So hopefully Corey having this opportunity will change some perspectives over there.
He deserves this so much! To almost win in that 7 car means the driver must be really good…,he needs a car with a good team to really show his skills
I can’t wait to see how Corey does in a good car! Love nothing more than him to get a w
Man I hope he runs top 5 all day long and keeps the car clean. Excited to see what this could do to his future.
Excited for for Corey, hopefully he a has a good run this weekend and can show what he can really do in good equipment.
Met Corey at the airport in Indy last year. Great guy. Glad he is getting the opportunity he deserves.
So happy for him can’t wait to see what he can do
I’m so excited for this weekend, i hope Corey shows how good he is.
It would be an honor and a dream I expect to drive for the #1 team in the cup series!
