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

[@robertpaul9467]

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’ll be there next year

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!

[@tnwhiskey68]

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!

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

[@BolognaBurger]

Good point Allgaier has driven for them as well

[@GrandpaShark]

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.

[@isaiahmarker407]

​@@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

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 think its possible Rodney was in a position to force a driver change as part of his contract.

[@ArvyRacin]

I could see him going to the Rick Ware 15

Yeah the 15 is an open seat no one is talking about for sure

[@lloydbarnes7847]

[@toddmanger7194]

Spire has spent so much money in the last few years, they might as well lol

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

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.

[@anc5498]

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!

[@clemfandango2930]

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?

[@perryearle7419]

Now the dominoes will fall.

💯

[@1400hpnextgen7]

You’re right BB the stats don’t lie.

[@JustGenius2001]

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.

[@TravisShaffer-bf9iv]

Corey to AM Racing

[@PCgonerogue820]

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

[@BolognaBurger]

Yep get some wins build up some hype again Almirola Truex Custer and Nemechek did it world for them

[@robertpaul9467]

So much to speculate about Cory. Could be money, sponsors or just winning. The silly seasons are sure a changin.

[@Dupontman627]

Preece and Burton are good picks

[@chrisdadigger1018]

[@oldhomeguy8214]

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

[@delmercoffman9166]

I predicted this one on one of your earlier episodes. I knew Corey was in trouble.

[@Basetugboat2675]

Bob pockess said that Busch won't be in the 7 car so while an interesting concept it was confirmed it won't happen

[@Dirtydeff]

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.

[@user-ej9ek4co3l]

Maybe a F1 driver nascar is trying to make that way maybe will see less fans in the stand make those woke sponsors happy

[@AgtWashingtub]

@@user-ej9ek4co3l Please be Max.

[@orendz7740]

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.

[@moonrunner600]

Maybe KB is a silent partner at Spire and LaJoie received the ultimate payback, his walking papers…

[@nomadman5288]

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).

[@williamgreen6179]

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.

[@BigTader]

Supposedly McDowell's bringing his crew chief with him to Spire?

[@RonRussell-sj1zf]

Eventually you have to perform, if you don't then you're gone and someone else will take your place. Ask H. Deegan.

It’s just poor results in a highly competitive market. Plain and Simple.

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.

[@mlwilliam213]

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.

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]

It would be big if they could figure out how to make it happen

[@casey6518]

@@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!
