Chevrolet’s Struggling Veteran Finds Hope With the Arrival of the Newest Lajoie Family Member

It has not been the best season for Corey LaJoie so far. Entering 2024 as a full-time Cup driver, LaJoie aimed to get into the playoffs; however, so far, no good, as the Spire Motorsports driver mostly finishes outside the 15th or 20th mark in most races. On the other hand, Spire rookies Carson Hocevar and Zane Smith have proven themselves by notching higher positions.

However, for now, the veteran Chevrolet driver can soothe his tensions at home. Already boasting a happy family, Corey LaJoie can rely on his loved ones, his sons Levi Ronnie (elder), and Jenson Daniel (younger), and his beautiful wife to relax and get back stronger. Now an addition to the household has him overflowing with joy.

Despite a bleak performance on the racetrack, a blissful time has descended on LaJoie’s personal life. Corey LaJoie and his wife Kelly welcomed their third son (guess what his beautiful name is) into this world a few hours ago. LaJoie posted some lovely snaps of the happy family, captioning his ecstatic feelings. “Life just got a little more wild. So pumped to meet our new addition to the crew last night, Pierce “PJ” Jackson.”

The post has two adorable pictures of the family of five (post 1), three brothers in a frame (post 2), and a sweet little clip of the LaJoie brothers walking to the mother’s ward to meet their newborn brother. While they were all excited to meet the newest crew member of the LaJoie camp, the humble yet kind behavior of Levi was also seen, as in the video he’s asking Kelly about her canola on the hand and asking if she’s fine. What great morals and values, Corey and Kelly!

Now they have a third opportunity to raise little warriors as PJ enters the family. Corey LaJoie has always been known to be a family man. He leans on his father and former racecar driver, Randy LaJoie, for parental advice. However, he does not let his father’s NASCAR connection be a bad influence.

Corey LaJoie’s faltering fate behind the wheel is not a new thing. But the veteran has never taken advantage of his family’s presence. He told USA Network in 2022, “Well, my dad swung the pendulum the other side and pretty much gave me the crappiest stuff that he could find and kind of built some grit and resilience because he knew that he wasn’t going to be able to pay my way to the top.” He hopes to instill the same philosophy in his sons.

But for now, Corey is happy with his booming household. He explained in 2022 why his children may encourage him to perform better at the race track. “Family life is a lot of fun, especially when I get to relive some memories of myself growing up following my dad to the race track. To have my sons come to the race track and follow me is — it should make some pretty cool memories.”

Corey LaJoie’s extended NASCAR family also came forward to congratulate Corey LaJoie’s family expansion.

Baby LaJoie enthralls the NASCAR community

Corey LaJoie has yet to touch a trophy in over eight years and nearly 250 races. But that does not stop the NASCAR crowd from appreciating the driver. Stacking up popularity primarily via his podcast, ‘Stacking Pennies’, LaJoie has a strong racing family. Hence, they rushed to welcome the newest addition to the LaJoie household.

First and foremost, Corey LaJoie’s NASCAR Cup team, Spire Motorsports, expressed its joy. The team hopes to see the third son at the racetrack. “Congratulations! We can’t wait to meet him at the track soon!” His race sponsor, Chili’s, also quippe,: “Congratulations!!”

Other NASCAR personalities also jumped on the congratulatory bandwagon. Rutledge Wood, auto racing analyst, added his note: “Congrats !! ❤️❤️” Then Alex Lewis, marketing director at Spire Motorsports, expressed his love for the charming video. “Congratulations man! Love the video ❤️”
