Corey LaJoie not expected to return to Rick Ware Racing

With Thursday’s announcement that Zane Smith is returning to Front Row Motorsports for the 2025 season, the only full-time team that has not made a driver announcement is Rick Ware Racing.

Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass reports that Cody Ware is the likely driver of the No. 51 Ford for Rick Ware Racing.

Corey LaJoie drove the car for the final seven races of the 2024 season after swapping rides with Justin Haley.

Rick Ware Racing has leased the charter for the No. 15 car to RFK Racing for use with the No. 60 team of Ryan Preece this year. RWR is expected to run the No. 15 on a part-time basis.

Corey LaJoie is still working on his 2025 plans but not expected to be full time in the RWR No. 51 in 2025. Cody Ware appears to be the likely driver of that car. https://t.co/mm7t3eOggI
