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.

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.

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

@cbpbear9021 March 4, 2024 at 10:20 pm

@@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?

@nathan1sixteen March 4, 2024 at 9:35 pm

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

@SockPops March 4, 2024 at 11:40 pm

He ran the 7 at Gateway but yeah, I fully agree.

Corey is quickly becoming the new Jeb Burton, having an issue with someone else every week for his poor performance.

@TekuTaurus March 5, 2024 at 1:15 am

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

@jaxonjaxoff3291 March 5, 2024 at 1:46 am

Jeb just gets mad randomly. And last year he ran really well but got pissed at Chandler Smith, arguably the cleanest driver in Xfinity.

@jeremyharper3462 March 5, 2024 at 8:02 am

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 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!

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.

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).

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
