Corey Lajoi says that he is beginning to consider what life is after active competition in NASCAR.
Comments were made in the latest episode on Tuesday Pens The podcast is co-maintained with the pit crew veteran Ryan Flores.
Lajoi, son of two -time Bush series champion Randy, has chased his own racing career for the last decade and ran in the cup series from 2017 to 2024. His full -time tenure was closed after the previous season when Spire Motorsports released him a year before the end.
It is also how he came to drive in the truck chain for this decline, just because he is still subject to the contract for the organization. In addition to that schedule, he has started four cups of series for Rick Ware Racing and for Amazon Prime Sports co-mazban cup series pre-race shows.
So what about next year?

“I like to do TV,” Lajoi said. “I think I am going to start this carbon fiber business, and if I want to keep on doing NASCAR, I will keep on showing because I like to do it and have a platform to talk about life and racing.
“But yes, the trucks are not especially fun to drive, and also like to break my head against the wall, metaphorically. Like, you are fighting a battle that is simply; If you’re not doing it yourself, you all deal with nonsense. We can’t make a new body. Ok, we can’t make it because GM this, and simulations.”
“So, if I had a really good opportunity, of course, I will entertain the conversation, but there are 10 other things that I can do now to look like the next chapter, and I think I am going to focus on it.”
With all that, he still wants to run in the next year Detona 500, the opportunity is that the great American race simply comes with green flags.
“I will entertain Detona 500 offers because I think I can compete for a win in a civilized car there, and (i) made the race a hard way,” Lazoi said. “So, I think I bring some value to a team, and you can also pay about a year in a week. So, I will see it, but yes, like the offering of the truck chain, I am not entertaining.”
Lajoi has clarified at various points this year that he just wants to make it in a cup chain, and if it is not there, he works hard to see the value in doing this at this stage of his career.
And he is not being called.
“There is really no (opportunity) because it’s just what it is, right? You get out of them, you lose your seat. The music stops, and they are cheap and comparable with someone else, which can do the same thing.”
