Corey LaJoie will take part in the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway, driving for Henderson Motorsports, the team confirmed on Monday, January 26. LaJoie will pilot Henderson’s No. 75 truck, which will carry sponsorship from Built.com, Alliance Driveway Solutions, and Kingdom Truck Sales.
LaJoie’s Dual Effort at Daytona Weekend
LaJoie is scheduled to compete in two races during the Daytona weekend. Alongside his Truck Series entry with Henderson Motorsports, he will also attempt to qualify for the 2026 Daytona 500 behind the wheel of the fourth RFK Racing car. This marks a busy start to his 2026 season as he seeks success in both the Truck Series and NASCAR Cup Series events.
Previous Season Performances for LaJoie and Henderson Motorsports
In 2025, LaJoie contested nine Truck Series races with Spire Motorsports, achieving three top-five finishes — fifth place at Michigan International Speedway, Richmond Raceway, and Martinsville Speedway. Meanwhile, Henderson Motorsports also participated in nine Truck Series events last year, running the No. 75 truck. Parker Kligerman drove eight of those races, with Patrick Emerling making one start.
Henderson’s standout result came at Daytona, where Kligerman initially finished first. However, the victory was nullified after the truck failed post-race technical inspection. Consequently, the best official finish for Henderson in 2025 was 14th, earned by Kligerman on three occasions at Charlotte Motor Speedway and two Bristol Motor Speedway events.
Future Plans for Henderson Motorsports and LaJoie’s Season
As of now, Henderson Motorsports has not revealed any plans for additional races or announced any other drivers for the 2026 Truck Series season. LaJoie’s involvement with the team at Daytona represents his only confirmed Truck Series entry at this time, while his Cup Series efforts with RFK Racing continue to develop.
