    Corey LaJoie ’s race at Michigan International Speedway went south quickly in the Final Stage. During the NASCAR Cup Series event, LaJoie spun down the backstretch and flipped. The No. 7 car slid down the race track, hit the wall upside down, and barrel-rolled onto its four tires. Thankfully, LaJoie was able to climb out uninjured.

    It was a shocking development as NASCAR worked on the NextGen car to prevent these situations after Ryan Preece at Daytona International Speedway in 2023. LaJoie’s car shouldn’t have flipped the way it did at Michigan, and NASCAR decided to take it to the R&D Center this week. In fact, there is footage from LaJoie’s onboard camera during the wreck.

    Below, you can watch LaJoie’s onboard camera during his big flip at Michigan on Monday afternoon!

    NASCAR will look into why this happened and determine how to prevent it. Thankfully, LaJoie was OK and will race at Daytona this weekend, which features an enhanced risk of big wrecks.
