    Turned Down $2 Million To Do What? | Stacking Pennies Podcast

    This week on Stacking Pennies, Corey LaJoie sits down with a guest fans have been asking for: his dad, Randy LaJoie. Randy talks about being on the NASCAR Hall of Fame ballot, why the Hall should recognize more than just Cup Series greatness, the Cup deal he turned down after his Busch Series championships, the backyard go-kart track where Corey learned to race, and the seat company that became a major part of his legacy. Plus, Corey, Randy, and Ryan Flores break down Connor Zilisch’s wild Watkins Glen win, SVG’s road-course dominance, Formula Drift, IndyCar push-to-pass drama, Buckshot Jones stories, Dover memories, and the safety lessons short-track racers still need to hear. Drop your favorite Randy LaJoie memory in the comments, and let us know: Does the NASCAR Hall of Fame give lower-division racers enough respect?

    Daytona 500 Fallout: Winners, Wrecks, and What It Means

    The Daytona 500 gave us both ends of racing. Corey was half a lap from making the show and didn’t. The truck motor blew. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was right there at the end again. And Daytona reminded everyone that superspeedway racing isn’t about domination, it’s about decision-making under pressure. This week, we break down the winners and losers, what really causes the big one, why engine failures happen, and what fans misunderstand about racing at 195 mph. Green Flag. Winners & Losers.
