Now, another Cup Series regular is joining that trend: Corey LaJoie. LaJoie recently signed on for a part-time NASCAR Truck Series deal—and fans wasted no time roasting him for it.

Although the results in any racing event seem to lean heavily on the driver, there is much more to it than that. The backend work behind putting a car on the track is often overlooked. Along with the individuals working on the machine in the shop, the crew members guiding the drivers in the race also play a crucial role.
