Why NASCAR Fans Turned on Corey LaJoie

Let’s chat about NASCAR stuff here:

And check out the latest from my fellow NASCAR creators here:

I lost respect for Corey when i met him at Indy last year, I was trying to get everyone to sign my ticket, I managed to get Denny to sign it, and Corey saw his name, handed the ticket back to me and said, "nah" dude can't put his arguments behind him for the fans

[Pankypops]

LaJoie's bad equipment excuse is so lame considering Ross has been overdriving Tier 3 cars for most of his career, and bringing better results than what they're capable of.

[TankSlappr]

"Don't give me excuses. Give me results."

[CaptainTerps]

We turned on him because he wrecks one of the best drivers on the track for 25th place at least once a month.
He drives over his head.

[Pwg]

He couldn’t beat his own car last year driving the 9 car. So can’t say he hasn’t driven top equipment.

I'm a Kyle Busch fan so I don't feel bad at all.

[IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Corey LaJoie should’ve been suspended after Pocono and should’ve gotten some harsh penalties for being a hazard and dirty driver on track.

I used to respect Corey, I used to feel bad for Corey, but his antics this year made me lose respect for him…

Sadly he did it to himself

[TheBraydenBunch]

That ain’t Corey LaJoie, That’s Corey LaJoke💀

[crystaljon]

Remember when everyone thought Hocevar was the odd one out at Spire? How everyone thought LaJoie and Smith were gonna be frontrunners and Hocevar would languish? Man, the times...

[coketheaveragefanner]

richard petty being the most hated nascar driver is a criminal offense

[NASCARFAN]

Corey Lajoie scored a Top 15 in his debut for Rick Ware Racing while Justin Haley in his return to Spire Motorsports ended up 33rd at Kansas after swapping rides

[kylitoskorner]

I don’t have any sympathy for him except for the fact that some fans went after his family. That’s a big no no.

Other than that, no! I’m sick of him taking out my driver (and others) and causing untimely cautions just for the heck of it.

[ohio-en]

I lost respect for the dude when, on his podcast he talked about the time someone spotted him at lowes and the fan asked if it was him, and he said "no, im not corey", just so the fan wouldn't "bother" him. douche move man

[jacobguy]

I went too a Corey lajoie meet and greet 2 years ago in Daytona and he told us all that he was above the xfinity series & truck series then when I gave him my hat to sign he literally flipped in over and signed the inside where I could see it when I displayed
Then this year i had a VIP pass and got a bunch of signatures on this sign and it had a bunch of signatures on it he did it as sloppy as possibly where it is faded and just a blob screw that guy

[icman]

5:50 can’t blame Corey when he didn’t get as much prep with the team. Remember Josh Berry at Las Vegas? Wasn’t up to speed. Had he gotten another race, then he would’ve done well

[ZPaul_]

I lost a lot of respect for him after he wrecked Busch at Pocono

[dirttrackmisfits]

I'd always heard he was somewhat on the douchey side, didn't think much of it, but then listened to some of his podcasts before stacking pennies, along with a podcast that aired with some of the guys that used to work with him. They didn't have much good to say. But the thing that convinced me of it were two different shows that featured him. One was on Motor Trend when he was with Go FAS and the other was on CW when he was with Spire. Both made it seem like he felt these teams were beneath his talent level, and he was annoyed that 'he' was the only one putting in the real effort, which I felt was a huge slap in the face to any and all that put the time and energy into the teams. He never seemed grateful that he even got those opportunities.

[KyleFerguson]

people also forget that he was the only driver to not have a DNF last year, now he has this year, like, what?

[iLikePlanez]

Corey can’t keep his car right side up. And his career is sunny side down. Not good.

[carsonschechter]

Why does everyone forget how off Hendricks was that day?!
