Corey LaJoie is scheduled to make his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
LaJoie, a 22-year-old development driver for Richard Petty Motorsports, plans to drive for Randy Humphrey Racing in Sunday’s Sylvania 300 (2 p.m. ET, ESPN), the second battle in the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup postseason. Dave Blaney (four races), Joe Nemechek and Nelson Piquet Jr. (one race each) have taken turns driving the Humphrey No. 77 Ford this season.
LaJoie has made four NASCAR national series starts — two each in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. The product of the NASCAR Next program was also a five-time winner and runner-up in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East standings in 2012.
LaJoie’s father, Randy, is a two-time champion of what is now the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
