On Thursday, officials at Go Fas Racing announced their plans for the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season.
Corey LaJoie will drive the No. 32 Ford Mustang for the organization in 2019. He will replace Matt DiBenedetto, who will be joining Leavine Family Racing next season.
“I’ve always respected Archie, Mason and everyone at Go Fas Racing because they are constantly building their race team better every year. I’m glad to be part of that continued growth for 2019 and look forward to getting on track and being in a position to show more of my potential. The most success in my career has been behind the wheel of a Ford from the ARCA and K&N series so I’m ready to jump into that mean looking Ford Mustang this season. Also, some of my best results in the Cup series have been with Randy on the box. There couldn’t be a better guy to lead our team,” LaJoie said in a statement.
In 2018, LaJoie ran a part-time schedule with TriStar Motorsports. LaJoie ran in 23 of the 36 Cup events last season. His best finish of 2018 came at the Playoffs opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway where he finished 16th.
“Every year we feel like our program takes a step forward and securing Corey should help us continue to move that direction. We’ve learned and grown a lot in our time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and I believe our results reflect that growth. We’re very excited about the potential our team has this year. Every year we’ve been able to improve our program in different areas, and we fully believe that this coming season will be no different. Corey is a driver we’ve kept our eyes on for several years and he’s impressed and delivered when given the opportunity. We think he’s a great fit for our program and can’t wait to get this season underway,” Mason St. Hilaire stated.
CorvetteParts.net/Keen Parts and Schluter Systems will sponsor the car. More sponsorship announcements are expected at a later date.
