Did Corey LaJoie just prove he doesn't belong in NASCAR with that low-IQ move at Daytona?

Corey LaJoie is in the limelight again, and this time it’s for causing a crash at Daytona. Everything started when LaJoie was going door to door with Noah Gragson and the race started to get aggressive. LaJoie decided to shunt Gragson. This led the No. 10 Mustang to spin out, and many other cars got caught up in the commotion.

Corey LaJoie was held responsible for the crash as Denny Hamlin made a bold statement on X, pinning the massive pile-up on the No. 7 driver. Even LaJoie faced the consequences of causing the crash as he wrecked his car in the incident. Recently, Spire Motorsports decided to part ways with the driver, and the fact that he has retired from the last 2 races due to an incident helps support their cause.

The battle between Noah Gragson and Corey LaJoie got intense during the 61st lap of the race. Both were fighting for P15, and the spin-out led to the crash piling cars behind them. Recently, LaJoie has been getting himself into quite a few wrecks, and without him being competitive in the series, fans are upset with him getting on track.

The 17-car crash was named the “Big One,” which wrecked Ross Chastain, Tyler Reddick, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, Joey Logano, and Michael McDowell, along with other drivers who were just bystanders to the crash ahead of them.

Fans saw a post on X from Daytona and the comments section soon became a place where they shared their views on Corey LaJoie’s driving. Many fans are unhappy with LaJoie causing wrecks so often that many have started to say that he does not deserve to be in the Cup series.
