Corey LaJoie Makes Odd 'Wife's Boyfriend' Comparison on Truck Series Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Corey LaJoie, who parted ways with Spire Motorsports while racing in the Cup Series last year, has returned to the same team this year. However, LaJoie will race in the NASCAR Truck Series in the No.7 Chevy Silverado. LaJoie will participate in nine Truck Series races, beginning at Michigan International Speedway, followed by his second race at Richmond Raceway on August 8. While he looks forward to a fresh chapter with Spire this year, his analogy offers an insight into his current emotions. Fox Sports' Bob Pockrass shared a video on X where LaJoie talks about his return to Spire Motorsports. He said: Corey LaJoie, driver of the #7 Gainbridge Chevrolet, waves to fans as he walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 Powered by Precision Vehicle Logistics... Corey LaJoie, driver of the #7 Gainbridge Chevrolet, waves to fans as he walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 Powered by Precision Vehicle Logistics at Michigan International Speedway on June 07, 2025 in Brooklyn, Michigan. More"So yeah. It's been, you know, a lot of emotions going back in there [at Spire]. Can I give you my analogy? ... Here's my analogy. It's like when you work building a house for five years, and then your wife becomes a TikTok star and says she's not happy anymore, she kicks you out. Then she calls you back a year later, and you have to go live in the guest room, and she's there with a new boyfriend. That's how this thing goes." LaJoie added that he missed working with the team. He said: "But I've missed the, just like, the trenches of trying to work together for a common goal. Because it's the only thing, racing's the only thing in life that you can be measured by your effort, good, bad, or indifferent. So, I've missed like, the working collectively trying to get a truck faster, car faster, yourself faster, figuring out what your weaknesses are and making them better." Corey LaJoie on returning to Spire -- for nine truck races -- after losing his Cup ride with the team last year. — Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) June 7, 2025 LaJoie has driven for Spire in the Cup Series since 2021, making him a part of the team's initial years in NASCAR. He said in a statement: "I'm looking forward to getting back in the seat and chasing some NASCAR Craftsman Truck series wins. "I put in a lot of work in the early days to help shape Spire Motorsports, and I still have some friends that have been there since day one, so it'll be good to see them. The No. 07 team has been bringing some fast trucks to the track this year and are looking for a spot in the owner's playoffs. "It'll be nice to have some consistency with the team to get acclimated to these vehicles, chase some wins and hopefully, a Craftsman Truck series owner's championship." Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson added: "While discussing our best path to bring Spire our first Craftsman Truck series championship and describing what we needed in a driver, the driver we were all talking about without saying his name was Corey LaJoie. "So, when I ran into Corey in the motorhome lot one morning earlier this spring, I asked him what he thought about coming home and doing this. "He is synonymous with what we've built here over the last few years and deserves this opportunity. I'm looking forward to getting him in the truck at Michigan to work out some kinks and start getting a game plan together for the playoffs."

Bachelor mansion returns to the market
While the first series of The Bachelor was a happy ending for Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich, the house that hosted the inaugural show has yet to find its forever family. The French-inspired mansion on Sydney's northern beaches has had three owners since the 2013 reality show and this week it was back on the market this time with a $15m guide in an expressions of interest campaign via Sydney Sotheby's principal Michael Pallier and colleague Spencer Sun. 'La Joie de Vivre' in Bayview is a vast estate on 4091sqm of land with championship-size tennis court, resort-style pool, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a six-car garage. Fashion mogul snaps up $12.5m granny flat The late transport magnate and philanthropist Gregory Poche and his late wife Kay bought La Joie de Vivre in 2003 for $10m and allowed the reality television program to film the first Bachelor series at the property. This is where chiropractor Tim Robards met and fell in love with lawyer Anna Heinrich. The couple married in 2018 and they now have two daughters aged four and one. The series was a huge success, ran for 11 seasons and five of the 15 final couples are still together. The Bayview house wasn't used again in the show. The Poches sold the Minkara Rd property to fellow freight tycoon Clive Thomas and his wife Lee in 2016 for $7.05m. Four years later the home changed hands for $8.5m then during 2022 and 2023 it was rented out for $6500 a week. Less than two years ago it sold again for $9m to a Chinese owner who lives elsewhere. Now after some cosmetic changes the trophy home with vast sandstone terraces, water views and banquet-sized formal rooms is up for grabs again. Spencer Sun, of Sotheby's International said a neighbouring house sold for $15m in 2021 and they are using that comparison as a guide for La Joie de Vivre. 'We already have interest from a local family, we might have overseas buyers too and we have three private inspections on the property this week,' he said. Only inspections by appointment are being offered for the house. Features include multiple rooms for entertaining, a chef-grade granite kitchen with twin ovens, dual dishwashers and fully equipped butler's pantry. Each of the six bedrooms has its own ensuite, there is a library, home office, games room, gym, outdoor kitchen and bar, sauna and temperature-controlled wine cellar. No mention of a rose garden though.
