Childers to Spire is definitely not where i expected him to go. Excellent hire for a team that’s still improving.
Corey will win next year
Lol @@GracieSkywalker
I was half expecting him to take Andy Petrees place at RCR, he seems fit for more of a competition director role at a historic but struggling team
Corey will fail next year and be out of Cup by 2026
@@HughWanztino Nah
Why didn’t they put him with the 71 team McDowell and Childers are playoff caliber
As I understand it, Travis Peterson is McDowell’s guy and he is expected to follow him to Spire.
That’ll happen the following season after LaJoie accomplishes absolutely nothing next year even with Childers.
Mcdowell being so overrated needs studied by psychologists. Almost as bad as cup champion Zane Smit… i mean Truck series champion Zane Smith, sorry its just with how overrated he is youd think he won a cup chip. Yall really be hyping up bums for no reason then clown on an Alex Bowman lol.
@@James3zington McDowell is hyped up because of his ability to improve teams. He improved LFR, and he turned FRM into nearly playoff caliber. He nearly made the playoffs last year on points (and then dominated the Indy Road course so points became irrelevant), which is unheard of in an FRM car. He had a better average finish in 2022 in an FRM car than Kyle Busch in a JGR car and Reddick in a RCR car. His best seasons at FRM are leaps and bounds better than anyone else has ever done at the team. So that’s why he’s hyped up. If you can contend to make the playoffs for FRM on points, you’re probably pretty good.
Spot on with the “pressure” comment. Lajoie will be expected to step up his performance under Childers, and should. He’s a quality driver paired with arguably the best free agent crew chief out there. Another solid move by Spire.
“Quality driver” good one.
Kind of seems like Front Row Motorsports has been missing out in free agency . . . McDowell is leaving, didn’t sign Berry, didn’t sign Childress . . . I hope they have something planned
They confirmed they are buying a third charter and we don’t even know who’s taking over the #34, let alone that third car. I would assume Gragson is a safe bet for one, but there’s tons of options for that third car. Could be Preece, could be Herbst, we don’t really know though.
They’ve got a big press conference for Wednesday
they have Burton,Preece,and gragson to sign
@@Kurtbuschfan97 Not to mention maybe stealing Xfinity drivers. Herbst, Sam Mayer, etc
@@Kurtbuschfan97god no. Preece is trash and so is Burton.
I talked to ABB rep, no one has anything to worry about. The car at this point is ONLY for short tracks and road course. Rep said car depends on heavy breaking to recharge battery. He advised to not expect to see the car at Talladega or a mile and a half anytime soon
Don’t wanna see it anywhere
@@davids5006 only as a fourth NASCAR series that’s all EV’s.. otherwise, stay away.
@@davids5006Do you always cry when you see change?
@@LOOKBEHINDYOUN0W only when it’s the wrong changes
@@LOOKBEHINDYOUN0W making a statement isn’t crying lol didn’t you learn any better than that or did your parents fail you on that also?
Lajoie has the natural talent to bring out multiple caution flags and get the crew chief home before the race ends.
Pretty much lol
Spire got McDowell and Rodney Childers, but not together, so get ready for disappointment another year.
facts! The dude has wrecked out of most races this year.I think he went from being humble to being brash.It hasn’t been a good look for him.
Their still collecting paychecks must be doing something right
@@jamesdanylin7414 nepotism?
6:05 they arent going to listen to us, they are going to do what they want to do
They should’ve paired him with McDowell instead of Lajoie.
Or hocevar
He’ll be with someone else the next year after Lajoie disappoints again
Has LaJoie even ran a clean race all season long? Surprising and intriguing move.
No he’s been a 1 man wreck fest.
It amazes me how some people think he’s such a good driver. He seems to cause a lot of issues
Rodney Childers welcome to Team Chevy, this should be a huge bump to the #7 team who desperately needed some changes, wanna see Corey get his first Cup win with Childers
Spire actually gets very little manufacture help from Chevrolet.
Corey better be stacking dimes instead of pennies next year.
You know Eric is kind of interesting kind of interesting Tyler Reddick is always at the top but you never hear about his teammate
Reddick outperforms Wallace regularly. Difference between competing for wins and competing to sneak in the playoffs
The nascar electric prototype definitely got media attention. Our local New Jersey news had a quick segment about it and they’ve never talked about nascar before
Fits the agenda
@@ZVPieGuy it is what it is.
Make the EV an exhibition series at select tracks and run Thursday or Friday night with drivers from the top levels of NASCAR.
One bit of news that may not be big, but Chase Briscoe will be racing on Canadian Dirt at Ohsweken Speedway this Thursday in the NASCAR Canada series.
Not gonna lie: I thought Andy Petree resigning at RCR meant Rodney Childers was headed to RCR to shore up support for Kyle Busch. But I think his hire at Spire is an incredible signing for a team that is in a serious growth spurt…
Been fun keeping up with your power rankings this season. Hope jt continues to be a segment next year
