From late ❀models at Danbury Fair Race Arena to Winston Cup on the high banks of Dayto♈na, Randy Lajoie has raced just about everything with four wheels - everything, that is, but a truck.
Lajoie, a two-time NASCAR Busch Series champion, will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut on September 27th in the Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He will be driving a truck owned by NASCAR Winston Cu✤p star Kevin Harvick.
From late models at Danbury Fair Race Arena to Winston Cup on the high banks of Daytona, Randy Lajoie has raced just about everything with four wh♔eels - everything, thaꦏt is, but a truck.
Lajoie, a two-time NASCAR Busch Series champion, will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut on September 27th in the Las Vegas 350 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He will be driving a truck owned by NASCAR Winston Cup star Kevin H𓄧arvick.
"I am very excited a✃bout making my truck debut for Kevin and DeLana Harvick," Lajoie said. "They've had a chance to win every race they've been in, so for them to trust me enough to drive such a good truck is an honour. I have had some good runs at Las Vegas in the Busch car, and I'm looking forward to this one."
Harvick, wh♕o pilots the No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet on the Winston Cup tour, is making plans to run his truck team full tꦚime in 2004.
"We've raced the tru🐻ck mostly on short tracks, and I want to see how our equipment will stand up on the bigger tracks," Harvick said. "I hired Randy because he can drive a race car. He knows how to get 🌌around (Las Vegas Motor Speedway), and I think he can go out there and win."
And what does Lajoie think of his chances?
"I'm going to win the race," Lajoie said. "If I can run in the top five and then have a chance to win the race, 𒁏then I would be pretty happ🍨y."
Lajoie is one of only four drivers to have started all seven NASCAR Buschღ Series races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He has two top-10 finishes with a career-best seventh in the 2002 Sam's Town 300.
