If there’s anything that fans love more than clinging onto an underdog driver, supporting them, and hopefully watching them achieve many accomplishments in the Cup Series. Today, The Daily Downforce will try to find out why NASCAR fans turned on one of its biggest underdogs and made him one of the biggest villains in the sport. 

  • NASCAR fans started liking Corey LaJoie when he was a struggling underdog racer who couldn’t find a stable job on a team that could win a race. Do you think fans would have turned on him if Corey LaJoie had stayed at this level?
  • One of Corey LaJoie‘s first times in the Spotlight was when he had a Twitter beef with one of NASCAR‘s most prominent villains, and one of the easiest ways to get fans to like you is to go against a driver everyone hates. Do you think his early beef with Denny Hamlin is what made fans start to love Corey Lajoy?
  • Corey LaJoie’s underdog story was going strong until 2024, when his rookie teammates constantly outperformed him. This possibly put a lot of pressure on Cory LaJoie, causing him to have an incident on the racetrack nearly every week. Do you think if LaJoie wasn’t outperformed by his teammates, fans would still support him?

When do you think it all started going wrong for Corey LaJoie? Do you think he’ll ever be back in favor of the fans? Let The Daily Downforce know all of your thoughts and questions in the comment section.
