Corey LaJoie announced Thursday that he will not return to Spire Motorsports after this season.

"I won't be driving the (No.) 7 car next year," LaJoie told The Athletic. "I take a lot of satisfaction from having an integral part of building Spire into a respectable team on the grid, but unfortunately, the future won't involve me.

"We will finish the remainder of 2024 strong, continuing to deliver for my partners, my guys who work hard to build good cars, family, fans and friends who have supported me since Day 1 in the Cup Series."

LaJoie, 32, recorded four top-5 finishes in 129 races during his four years with Spire in the NASCAR Cup Series. He made his Cup debut in 2014 and competed with BK Racing, TriStar Motorsports and GoFas Racing prior to Spire.

LaJoie sits 28th in points with four races remaining in the regular season.
