Corey LaJoie Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles and NASCAR Career Transition

The NASCAR driver reflects on personal challenges, team changes, and his shift to part-time racing and broadcasting in 2025.

Corey LaJoie revealed struggles with anxiety and depression during a difficult 2024 season, exacerbated by a friend's life-altering accident.
After a series of underwhelming performances, LaJoie was replaced mid-season at Spire Motorsports and moved to Rick Ware Racing (RWR).
LaJoie chose to step aside from full-time racing in 2025, supporting Cody Ware's return to RWR while pursuing other opportunities.
He faced backlash for comments dismissing NASCAR's lower series, leading to criticism from Truck Series team owner Josh Reaume.
In 2025, LaJoie will balance part-time racing with a new role as a NASCAR analyst for Amazon Prime Video and his ongoing podcast, Stacking Pennies.
