Third-Generation Racer to Showcase First NASCAR Regional Touring Series Victory
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 30, 2024) – Spire Motorsports and Corey LaJoie have partnered with DLJ Produce, via its Razzle Dazzle brand of grapes, to commemorate LaJoie’s first ARCA Menard’s Series East victory with a special look for the NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.

“It’s always fun when we can bring a new partner to the track and introduce them to the sport,” said LaJoie. “I really appreciate the team at Razzle Dazzle for being willing to participate in Darlington’s initiative and help us throw it back to my first NASCAR win at Bowman Gray. Our Razzle Dazzle Chevy Camaro looks awesome and we’re going to work our tails off to have a great day on the race track.”
