News has just come down that Jack Beckman, former NHRA Funny Car World Champion and all around awesome guy, will be climbing into John Force’s funny car for the remained of the 2024 season. On a personal note, I am hoping that this is another step that will get Beckman back into an NHRA Nitro Funny Car full time in 2025. Jack is a hell of a guy, obviously talented behind the wheel, and has always represented his sponsors and fans well.

Corey LaJoie is looking for a new home as teams prepare their driver lineups for the 2025 NASCAR season. Spire Motorsports previously announced that LaJoie won’t return to the No. 7 Cup car in 2025 despite having a contract for next season. So, which NASAR teams could sign the 32-year-old driver? Currently, there hasn’t been a lot of movement, but two teams have been mentioned.
FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass mentioned Kaulig Racing and Rick Ware Racing when discussing teams that could consider signing LaJoie. Both NASCAR Cup Series organizations have two charters with one full-time driver, so LaJoie could slot into the other entry part-time or full-time. This would be smart if he wants to remain in the Cup Series.
If not, LaJoie could aim for competitive equipment in the NASCAR Xfinity or Truck Series, but there is risk. It is tough to come back when a full-time driver in the Cup Series moves down. Cole Custer and John Hunter Nemechek accomplished the feat, but it’s not an exact science. LaJoie could have plenty of options, but it may not all be in the Cup Series.

If the latest Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway hadn’t gone into Overtime, it’s highly likely that a NASCAR Ford driver would have ended up in Victory Lane. Unfortunately, things just didn’t work out in The Blue Oval’s favor last weekend, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. In fact, this week’s Power Rankings show that Ford is on its way up after a rough start to the 2024 season.
