Old Spice – Atlanta Motor Speedway – Race Advance
Race 2 of 36:
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will make its way to Atlanta this weekend for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. This will mark the first race ever with NASCAR’s new 2019 rules package. The new package, with increased drag and reduced horsepower, should provide fans with closer racing and a more exciting on-track product. Corey LaJoie and the No.32 Ford Mustang team will be racing with their fan-favorite Old Spice scheme featuring Corey’s own face front and center across the hood.
A Wild Opening Weekend:
Before the Daytona 500 race weekend had even started, Corey LaJoie and the Old Spice Ford Mustang had already made headlines across the world. After being released, the car’s unique scheme was featured on Fox, NBC, ESPN’s Sportscenter, and Barstool Sports among many other forms of media. The media wave around the scheme was so strong that Old Spice decided to extend their partnership with the team through Atlanta.
On track, many days of practice and a qualifying race set the grid for the Daytona 500, where LaJoie started 32nd. The race stayed green for most of the first two stages, but as the final stage was coming to a close, the wild racing began. Several large wrecks caused significant damage to many of the top contenders towards the end of the race, with the No.32 Ford team coming through each wreck cleanly. LaJoie was able to pick up nearly ten spots as the race came to a close, finishing 18th in his Go Fas Racing debut with little damage to the Mustang.
LaJoie on expectations for Atlanta Motor Speedway:
“To have Old Spice think enough about GoFas and I to come back for a second race, shows the strength of NASCAR and its ability to move the needle from a marketing standpoint. We’ll give them another solid week of exposure and continue to work on selling our open races. As for the race, I don’t have much experience at Atlanta, but I love worn out racetracks and that could play into our hands later in the race,” LaJoie said.
