Lajoie needs to calm down like honestly….
Agreed
I feel like he’s doing this, just for fame and recognition. He hasn’t done anything so he’s not nothing to lose at this point.
@@Nate-iy8dvyeah he seems to pick fights with only the young guys for a reason
He’s not going to. From his standpoint he’s been in C equipment his whole career and now with some additional funding Spire seems to be about a B team which is capable of winning. Corey views this opportunity as his real shot and probably his last real shot at a competitive ride. The last thing he wants or needs is a rookie teammate outrunning him. So if he thinks Carson used him up he’s going to let everyone know. Not saying he is right but the days of Corey being Mr. Nice Guy are gone. Expect him to be more like Ross. When Ross got his first real big break he didn’t give a damn about anyone else on the track. Corey needs to have that mentality if he wants to stick around.
I guess we’re gonna ignore Martin truex jr in the power rankings for Phoenix
He was lowkey beasting
He’s third in points right now too
Yeah I was gonna say he’s quietly 3rd in points
Corey mad he’s already getting outran
Corey is far ahead of Carson in points. Idk what season you been watching.
@@DrSamwpepperwe’ve been watching Corey crying since the start of the season
Corey was running top 5 to 10 most of the beginning of the race
While Carson was only top 20-15
Your watching the wrong race ig
@@timechanger9162 you must have some sort of mental issue because the beginning of the race does not matter at all. The entire race matters and Lajoie restarted stage 3 in the top 10 while hocevar restarted in the back. By the time Corey wrecked himself hocevar was running 12th while Corey was back in 18th. Are you watching the same race as everyone else or just turning it off after the first 100 laps?
i did see the Spire incident on the FOX cameras and was suprised the broadcast didn’t say anything about it
I saw it as well and thought the same thing
what lap?
Not surprised in the slightest that the FOX broadcasters missed mentioning something that was relatively interesting and intriguing.
Same
Same
If I had a nickel for every time Corey LaJoie went after a young driver this year, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
But of course you could “stack Pennies”
@@Ghettocowboy33 lol
I guess I’ll have to wait for Stacking Pennies to hear what the beef between Lajoie and Hocevar is. I have a feeling that Lajoie is feeling the pressure of Hocevar looking good in the 77 (I know his finish at Daytona was rough, being wrecked 5 laps in, and he was running top 10 at Atlanta when he was run over by Berry). Especially seeing how Hocevar ran in the 42 last year and the 7 at New Hampshire, I’d imagine LaJoie might be getting a bit nervous about being replaced as #1 at Spire
He ran the 7 at Gateway but yeah, I fully agree.
It’s also early. Three races is not a season. Let’s get further into the season and see.
Corey is quickly becoming the new Jeb Burton, having an issue with someone else every week for his poor performance.
Nah it actually was Carson’s fault this week. Live broadcast was on Corey’s rear bumper when Carson shoved him in the wall decently hard. Broadcast never really pointed it out but I could tell it was gonna hurt his car in the long run
Jeb just gets mad randomly. And last year he ran really well but got pissed at Chandler Smith, arguably the cleanest driver in Xfinity.
I knew it was only a matter of time before Corey would feel the heat from Carson and Zane and act out.
I think Lajoie is DiBenedetto 2.0 and will be lucky to land a truck ride in 2 years. The pressure of his rookie teammates outshining him will be too much for him, although Zane hasn’t shown much this season yet. I hope he gets it together soon.
I’m starting to think that everything Corey does is scripted to draw attention to himself and keep himself in the news each week.
LaFraud mad that Hocevar is already better than him haha
@@TekuTaurus
I got to race with Rajah in NASCAR ’15 leagues for a year or two and I remembered he used to be a very aggressive driver and people got on his nerves very often. Seeing him race now made me realize he’s matured so much since those PS3 days by being focused on the race at hand and having respect towards other drivers. I’m excited to root for him in the future!
Your lucky for that. That’s awesome
Lajoie already having beef with Cindric AND Hocevar is wild..
Two drivers that are more talented then him
Cindric had random beef with him for no reason really. Hocevar is just a rookie still learning so he should probably cut the kid some slack.
I’d say for top 5 I would put Larson,Byron,Blaney,Hamlin,Busch, Kyle Busch has been so fast and I feel like that’s discounted here.
Now you will have chastain in the top ten right? We’ve been waiting so long….
FINALLY!!
If the 10 wasn’t penalized Gragson would be in a good points position. He’s been impressive!
He’s learning the hard way to just keep his mouth shut, drive clean and let your driving speak for itself. I’m happy to see it……..and stay the hell off social media.
Agreed.
I guess we just ignore Ty Gibbs runs this year. 9th in the points, came back for a too 5 after a long pit stop and a penalty afterwards. Weird.
Very appreciated of your untold hours of a 10 to 15 minute show , every day. I work 12 hours , come home . Eat my dinner and watch your show . It is so relaxing and informative. Thank you
MATE
I can relate a lot to Rajah. We both grew up in the DMV, which isn’t exactly the racing capital of the world. The only track nearby is Hagerstown Speedway, and let’s just say I didn’t have a good time going there. So to see him make it to nascar is great. Gives me hope that I can make it in the industry (not driving obviously lol).
There old dominion as well down Fredericksburg or thornburg the nascsr weekly series use to run there
I saw the incident on TV. it was right before they cut away, and Hocevar ran him up into the wall. None of the announcers talked about it, and the camera cut away pretty much the millisecond after he made contact with the wall. Not ebough to pit, but i could see why he would be frustrated.
not to mention, Hocevar was pinching down on LaJoie at times for literally no reason, it was just slowing them both down
Corey boutta get the DiBenedetto treatment
I was wondering if you might be interested in perhaps highlighting five “cold” drivers each week in addition to the power rankings
Love your content!
It’s also worth mentioning that Rajah Caruth won just three days before the anniversary of Wendell Scott’s first start in NASCAR.
Wow
