Corey LaJoie is set to compete in the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway, joining Henderson Motorsports for the event. This marks a significant move for both LaJoie and the team as part of his broader Corey LaJoie Daytona Truck Series plans.
LaJoie Returns to the Truck Series with Henderson Motorsports
Henderson Motorsports officially announced LaJoie’s return to the series via their social media platforms on January 26, 2026.

A Busy Daytona Weekend for LaJoie
This Truck Series outing is just one aspect of LaJoie’s schedule at Daytona, as he is slated to attempt the 2026 Daytona 500 in a fourth entry for RFK Racing. His effort marks a dual opportunity to make an impact across two major NASCAR events during the famed Speedway’s racing weekend.
Recent Performances and Team Background
In 2025, Corey LaJoie participated in nine Truck Series races driving for Spire Motorsports, achieving top-five finishes at Michigan International Speedway, Richmond Raceway, and Martinsville Speedway. Henderson Motorsports also fielded the No. 75 truck in nine events the previous year, eight times with Parker Kligerman and once with Patrick Emerling. Although Kligerman initially crossed the finish line first at Daytona, an infraction during post-race inspection nullified the result, making the team’s top finish in 2025 a solid 14th place achieved three times by Kligerman at Charlotte Motor Speedway and both Bristol Motor Speedway events.
Looking Ahead for Henderson Motorsports
At this stage, Henderson Motorsports has not revealed further race plans or additional driver lineups for the remainder of the 2026 Truck Series season. The announcement of Corey LaJoie for Daytona stands as their first confirmed entry for the year, leaving the community and fans awaiting news on future participation and team developments.
What This Means for LaJoie and the Team
LaJoie’s involvement with Henderson Motorsports at Daytona International Speedway provides him another shot to demonstrate his capabilities in the Truck Series, while helping the team rally for stronger performances after a challenging 2025. As anticipation builds toward the Daytona opener, both the driver and Henderson Motorsports have an opportunity to start the new season on a high note and potentially influence subsequent team strategy for the year ahead.
