Veteran racer Corey LaJoie announced a multifaceted #NASCAR effort in 2025 that will see the 33-year-old return to the NASCAR Cup Series and appear on Prime Video NASCAR broadcasts as an analyst.
LaJoie will drive the No. 01 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Rick Ware Racing in a limited schedule, beginning with the season-opening #Daytona500. The No. 01 aligns with LaJoie’s desire to create a Stacking Pennies Performance Brand, the genesis of which began four years ago with his Stacking Pennies podcast.
Built on the notion that small victories over time lead to success, Stacking Pennies is now one of the most popular NASCAR podcasts. DuraMAX and Take 5 Oil Change® will be the primary partners for LaJoie at Daytona, where small victories will be needed to ensure a place in the 67th Daytona 500.
As an open entry, the No. 01 DuraMAX/Take 5 Oil Change Ford Mustang does not have a guaranteed starting spot. LaJoie’s Daytona 500 drive begins Feb. 12 with time trials and continues Feb. 13 with the Duel, twin 150-mile qualifying races that set the field for the Daytona 500. If LaJoie is one of the two fastest open drivers in time trials or scores the highest finish among open drivers in his respective Duel, his place in the Great American Race will be secured.
