Corey LaJoie to enter Daytona Truck race with Henderson

Corey LaJoie will be a busy man in the coming weeks. He has already announced plans to fill-in for an injured Brad Keselowski in the pre-season Clash at Bowman Gray, and he will also be driving the No. 99 RFK Racing open entry as he attempts to qualify for the 68th running of Daytona 500.

On Monday, it was announced LaJoie will be driving the No. 75 Henderson Motorsports entry in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season-opener at Daytona as well. That truck actually ‘won’ that race last year with Parker Kligerman, but was later disqualified for failing post-race inspection.

The 34-year-old LaJoie has 276 starts in the Cup Series, but also has some recent experience in the Truck Series. Nine of his 14 career NCTS starts came during the 2025 season with Spire Motorsports. He recorded three top fives and seven top tens in those nine appearances, finishing as high as fifth.

The Daytona Truck race will have several interesting names in it beyond the Truck regulars. It was previously announced that Tony Stewart will make his first NCTS start in nearly twenty years as he joins the Kaulig Racing Ram fleet. 2023 Daytona 500 winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will drive for Niece Motorsports, ad one of his teammates will be extreme sports legend Travis Pastrana.
