Corey LaJoie Looks to Replicate Season-Best Sonoma Run at Chicago
5 months agoMuch like his Spire Motorsports teammate Carson Hocevar, Corey LaJoie has done a good job finishing races but has also been involved in quite a few sloppy incidents where he overdrove and took out other cars. LaJoie has received the brunt of the criticism this year because Hocevar has regularly outrun him as a rookie and mistakes are considered less acceptable from veterans. However, LaJoie has the potential to turn his season around in today's Chicago Street Course race, as he's delivered some of his best performances on road courses this year, giving Spire its best-ever qualifying run at COTA and having his best run of the season at Sonoma en route to an 11th place finish. Although Hocevar will likely outrun LaJoie again, LaJoie seems to have cleaned up his act somewhat over the past month and he stands a good chance of a top-20 finish.
