2023 Fantasy Outlook
The six-season veteran will return to the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet in 2023. Lajoie grabbed one Top-10 finish in all of last season and posted a 24.3 average finish, which was a career-best mark. As per recent history, the intermediate and larger ovals were his best tracks on the circuit. Lajoie will look to reduce the number of DNF's (8) and hope to find better week-to-week consistency in 2023. Most of the team, including crew chief Ryan Sparks, returns to help Lajoie to this end. Spire Motorsports will continue to get technical and engine support from Hendrick Motorsports, so fast cars will hopefully continue to roll out of their garage each week. Lajoie showed some improvement on the short tracks and road courses over the last half of last season, and hopefully that's a trend that continues into the upcoming season. Read Past Outlooks

2017
Lajoie is expected to return to Spire Motorsports for another season in NASCAR's top division. The 30-year-old veteran is now up to 164 Cup Series starts and has quite a bit of experience at this point in his career. Lajoie peddled to just one Top 10 in 2021, but finished a career-best 29th-place in the points with a career-best 24.9 average finish. All expected marks for a small, underfunded race team. Spire returns the No. 7 Chevrolet squad fully intact with the same faces and crew chief Ryan Sparks. Lajoie will try to build on the good things they did, and emphasize those going into the 2022 campaign with the new race car. The return of practice and qualifying will help in that regard. Still, due to team size/sponsorship, Lajoie has a low ceiling and small potential to take a big leap from here.
