I had a feeling when they hired Childers that Corey was gonna be out
Yeah he hasn’t produced but I didn’t have it in my radar. Good call Dindog
I honestly think that Spire has someone in mind already. The way he handled the situation with KB was a bad look for him and the team.
2 week break couldn’t of came at a better time for Corey. He’s got 2 weeks to look for a job.
kyle said payback was coming lol
Seriously, buying out his RCR contract to take the 7 is some r/nuclearrevenge perfection. And is anyone is petty enough to do it, it is KFB.
I know its super popular to drag Corey thru the mud...and it feels good inside for everyone doing it.
But actually feel sorry for Corey. That MF worked a FT job, wrenched on his own cars, then also drove it. Gotta give him props
Really like to see Busch stay with RCR and make something good happen over there. One of the more smarter drivers as far as taking care of his car until go time.I think Kyle is close!
He sure has a talent
FOR WRECKING OTHERS!!
Spire and Trackhouse make a deal over Zane Smith (buy out rights not on loan) Michael McDowell goes to 7 and Zane stays where he’s at. SVG to Trackhouse in 3rd car
I think Christian Eckes may have a shot with this team considering the great year he is having in the truck series and he is already a Chevrolet driver!
Corey lajoy is just a steering wheel holder. Like daddy!!!!
If some decent xfinity rides open up next year, he could now be one of those candidates, and I’m only saying that because of MONEY!
Really bummed to hear about La Joie but not surprised. I think his beef with KB was the last straw. The guy who I think deserves a chance is Justin Allgaier. He did such a remarkable job in the 600. Hell he's already in the 7 car. lol
I agree. But I'm not sure Justin really wants to race cup series full time. He seems happy driving for JRM.
@@GrandpaShark Oh I think he would be all over it. Its like playing AA baseball. You would kill to move up.
@@GrandpaSharkthe only reason Allgaier stepped back down to Xfinity is because he got stuck in underfunded and uncompetitive cup rides (HScott Motorsports). If he could get a decent cup ride with a team on the rise, I think Allgaier would definitely return to cup
My bet is there being another driver who hasn't mentioned they are leaving yet. Someone who either lost a tide and it isn't public or a driver, like Jones, who is just looking for a better ride. Rodney helped this happen too, i bet! Good info like always BB!
Definitely could be Jones the way this all went down it was quick so something happened
This sucks for Corey, I hope he lands in a competitive team even if its Xfinity or Trucks
KB calling your franchise a liar on network tv can't look that great, plus getting outrun by your teammates, then the results.
That's 3 strikes.
I like Algaier, Eckes, and Zane Smith has been looking good lately.
💯 I like Allgaiers name being in there hopefully someone gives him a look
u can bet one one thing it will never be ALgaier just not in the cards he is on my 4 car team
I think it’s SVG or Allgaier possibly to get that Cup ride.
If KB did go to Spire, it would be full circle since they bought KBM last year. Plus, he has driven for them in trucks so his year.
You’re right BB the stats don’t lie.
Corey to AM Racing
I think its possible Rodney was in a position to force a driver change as part of his contract.
I thought he signed a multi year contract.
🎱🤙 Thank you for the updates 😊
I predicted this one on one of your earlier episodes. I knew Corey was in trouble.
Preece and Burton are good picks
Hope KB goes there!
Spire has spent so much money in the last few years, they might as well lol
So much to speculate about Cory. Could be money, sponsors or just winning. The silly seasons are sure a changin.
Realistically kyle is already on the payroll would make sine to just add him more
Supposedly McDowell's bringing his crew chief with him to Spire?
Not that surprising when you look at recent clues. Spire announced that Rodney would be Crew Chief for the #t car (no mention of LaJoie) and LaJoie himself wasn't present at any of the photo ops etc of Rodney's signing. I didn't even see LaJoie make any reference at all to working with Rodney next year in the days following the announcement. This is great news, as I would hate to see Rodney settle for a driver who shouldn't be in the Cup series. Very excited to see who fills that seat!
I'm not a LaJoie hater but he should step down to Xfinity, there's drivers there that do better than when they had a chance driving cup car
Yep get some wins build up some hype again Almirola Truex Custer and Nemechek did it world for them
If Trackhouse gets the charter, then I feel like it might be Suarez in the 7, w/ SVG and Zane Smith going to Trackhouse. SVG in the new 97(the former 99 team) and Smith to the 99 (the new team).
They finally came to their senses with this hack of a driver.
Bubba hasn’t really said he has a ride next year. Ty Dillon has to be in mind too. Be a awesome fit for Bowman if that’s possible. Jesse Love could be a canidate too. Harrison Burton could really improve his value with Rodney as a crew chief
I haven't read all the comments but with the Gainsbridge money and the Andretti connection, Michael wanting into NASCAR with all those resources to bring Marco in as a driver? Would Spire be short sighted not to entertain that possibility? Just one more Silly to add to the mix. I know something like this has been floated previously.
PS no offense Spire can't afford ROWDY. He's loyal to RCR 🌞
KB is far from loyal to rcr. He's constantly throwing the organization under the bus
@@jeanaallison7236 Exactly, where are they going to pull $15M from to pay Kyle, out of their ass?
Maybe KB is a silent partner at Spire and LaJoie received the ultimate payback, his walking papers…
Bob pockess said that Busch won't be in the 7 car so while an interesting concept it was confirmed it won't happen
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say they’re going to move Christian eckes up to cup in the 7 ride. I mean shit….who the fuck else do they really have?🤷🏻
It’s about time!
Rumor is that Spire is looking to put an open wheel driver in the 7 car which I think is a mistake. Dave Moody said that Spire let Corey go for performance so why would you hire an open wheel driver that would take 2-3 years to be competitive.
Maybe a F1 driver nascar is trying to make that way maybe will see less fans in the stand make those woke sponsors happy
Spire has finally opened their eyes and realized that LaJoke's excuses and lack of numbers isn't cutting it anymore. I don't hate LaJoke it's just that he has done ZERO in that #7 car for a long time. Spire has a vision for their future and LaJoke isn't in it, sadly. I hope he gets a ride in the Truck or Xfinity series.
Eventually you have to perform, if you don't then you're gone and someone else will take your place. Ask H. Deegan.
If they keep Zane at Spire, I think pairing him with Childers is the right move. We already know what McDowell is and Rodney would really help Zane move forward. There was too much evidence in the #38 truck that that kid is talented. I still think he could be a franchise guy and have a great career. Being a rookie on an expanding team is not great for anyone.
I think on this channel I called Corey dumping Kyle as foreshadowing. We’ll see if KB takes the ride or stays at RCR.
He has a signed contract with RCR through next year he isnt going to Spire under any circumstances
Everyone is losing their rides these days.
I like Lajoie I think he deserves a cup ride over a couple others that are still in the garage but he really hasn’t helped his case the last few weeks. the only question I have which I haven’t heard anyone ask is-did Rodney Childers know they were shitcanning Lajoie when he signed on? If so who does he want in that seat?
When Lajoie was awful in the 9 last year at Gateway, his stock dropped after that. He had a chance to shine that weekend and threw up all over himself.
It’s just poor results in a highly competitive market. Plain and Simple.
La no joy no driver needs a CDL license not A NASCAR LICENSE so he can drive Hocevars bus and carry his lunch box HES OUT 🎉
This is long overdue in my humble opinion. He never really made any momentum and the team is spending big money.
Best news of the year. Randall Burnett can fix the heat he is taking any time he is ready to get some speed out of the car. The only thing that good be better new is Austin Dillon is out
Has Corey ever won a race his name is mentioned a lot
Think god ,that’s a good thing for childers
Waltrip didn't last long with Bahari after cowardly assaulting Lake Speed at Michigan. He was gone at the end of season. Why the Wood bros wanted him I'll never know.
Man didn't see this coming or should of see it coming, CL is out who would be in?
Lajoie and Stenhouse just need to stick to their kick ball and crossfit.
I think Rodney does not like the way that corey stacks pennies:)
Sorry but I don't see Rujah moving up anytime soon. He is fifth in points and getting a win in the early part of the year. Driving one of Kyle Busch's old Trucks. There has only been 5 normal season winners and Rujah is currently in the same top 5 and 10's as most of the top 10 drivers right now. He has not really been leading laps. He is a 5 to 10 place truck in a Tier 1 or 2 team. If he had a win count of 3 or 4 wins, maybe his name could be mentioned. He needs to race a second year in Trucks then 2 in Infinity. If he breaks out and wins like Kyle Busch past drivers like Bell, Byron, or Bubba move him up a level. He also needs funding. I don't see Hendrick sponsoring him for the complete season next year.
They did him dirty a little late in the year for him to get a ride hope he lands a ride if it’s xfinty or truck
I personally don’t believe it’s smart to move a guy from trucks to cup. Doesn’t ever seem to work.
I can’t believe they let Corey go this quick. I didn’t even expect it until after next year if he didn’t improve with Childers. Surely there’s more valid reason other than the crap he’s getting from social media and wrecking Busch.
Kyle Busch and Rodney Childres CHAMPIONSHIP
hes just not done enough i think hes a mediocre driver better suited to xfinity
Obviously, Spire is making room for Ryan Preece...
Preece is a hot commodity in the CUP series and has been turning heads all year!
Go get em Ryan 💪 ☝️ 🏁 🤺 🧢 🪠
good,,, maybe it'll knock some of the inflated ego off lajoie. he's a fraction of what he thinks he is
I don’t think if I was Kyle Busch I’d want to take that ride spire hasn’t done anything in cup and Rodney Childers only has won 1 race in the next gen car
@@Basetugboat2675 the 1 at Richmond really doesn’t count to me because was just a call that went there way because he was slow as far as all out speed it’s just 1 race he was the fastest car on the track since this new car came out
@@garyk76 a win is a win in my opinion but Bob pockess said that Busch is unlikely to go to spire so I think that ends the rumors
@@Basetugboat2675 if you want to talk about how good a crew chief he is we need to be talking about speed which his cars hasn’t had for the last three years and I don’t think it will change anything next year bringing him in specially with every driver capable of winning under contract
Marco Andretti to Spire?
Thank God. Now I can still be a Childers fan. Just sayin
Hey Corey is as good as his dad was.......oh yeah.... his dad kinda tucked in cup also...hmmmm😅
C'mon man
As good as his dad? Not even close, Randy won TWO Busch Series championships and over 20 races his son hasn’t won a single race in any of the top three series
@peterrukavena4955 lol it always skips a generation, kyle petty.... Dale Jr....apparently Corey.... and no Dale jr was NO Dale Sr lol
What what no Busch in the #7 car Burger you are punching hole in people balloons, yes that is strange LaJoie sign a new contract in the spring and like two months later he gone at the end of the year, what the heck happen in those two months?
Best decision ever for Spire to get rid of a NO talent wreckfest driver & it will save a lot of work for the crew members repairing his wrecked cars next year! Spire needs to put Kyle Busch in the Spire #7 with Rodney Childers as the crew chief after a buyout of RCR 8's 2025 contract, Spire has a connection with Kyle since they did buy the KBM truck team & shop. The Spire team is in the old KBM race shop now, Kyle would feel right at home in his old shop. That frees up the RCR 8 for Austin Hill to move up to cup next year since that was the original goal of RCR signing Austin Hill to a long term contract. Corey can go build seats with his Dad or maybe he can find a truck or Xfinity team. Don't see any openings in Cup for his talent level unless he can bring some sponsorship for a financially struggling team!
@@BolognaBurger Just buy Kyle out of his last year of the contract, I'm sure Richard would take some cash to let him go since he does have Austin Hill needing a CUP car to drive next year since Austin Dillion isn't ready to retire just yet! I'm guessing Cambridge wasn't too happy with Corey being in the news for intentionally trying to wreck Kyle, Cambridge does hold the purse strings for Spire's sudden wealth of spending in the last year or so!
Wow you got some fantastic fantasy there, where is Spire going to get the money from to pay Kyle $15M a year and then buy out his RCR deal. They don’t even have factory support from Chevrolet
@@peterrukavena4955 Same place they got $ to buy Kyle Busch KBM Motorsports including teams race shop last year! Cambridge Financial & Insurance Group. There's only a year left on Kyles contract & I'm sure Kyle will attract other sponsors & it could even become a Toyota team next year too since Toyota wanted to keep Kyle in the fold. We already know Kyle wants to leave RCR, something has happened at Spire to give Corey the ax & it was related to the Kyle incident of being wrecked by Corey! You guess who's gonna get the #7 next year then.
Randal and Kyle dont match IMO. Could be a good crew chief, juat not with KB.
So you help build a team and they kick you out is Spire the mclaren of nascar
I’m interested to see who came in and bought his seat or was such a talented driver they dropped him.
So what, Corey is a good racer. He will get a job at another and better team
A very funny and kinda delusional thing to say. LaJoke's excuses and lack of numbers just wasn't cutting it for Spire. LaJoke will probably get another ride... in either the Truck Series or Xfinity Series.
Think god !!!
Ever wonder why his dad don’t sponsor his son!!!!!!!!!
What corporation does Randy Lajoie own that would allow him to throw 15 million a year at ANY cup driver?
@@slick-px4pqdid not say he had to sponsor the whole thing. Seat co. Is doing ok. Move him back to LM’s where he belongs…
If KB moves it will be back to Toyota! Spire is not a level 1 Chevy team.
I agree also it will be 2026 most likely because he’s under contract still
My guess is that Corey and Rodney had a falling out. 🤔
Rodney is still working with Josh Berry. I doubt he's even talked to Corey.
Rodney Childress will never put up with Kyle and his BS. Hopefully, Berry hasn't actually signed his deal with the Wood Brothers yet
Harvick is just about the same as Bush when it comes to being vocal on the radio
Eric Jones
LaJoie is EX-Spired
Haha nice title
@@CPO-Snarky Good One 👍
lol 😅
Very punny 😂
Underrated comment.
