Randy LaJoie Hall of Fame nominee bio
Randy LaJoie is a man with a multifaceted legacy — the racer, the two-time champion, the seat builder and the father.
LaJoie made his mark in what is now the NASCAR Xfinity Series, where his crowning achievements came in 1996 and 1997 when he won back-to-back championships, establishing himself as one of the series' top competitors.

Beyond his championships, LaJoie's consistency was a defining trait of his career. He finished in the top 10 in points in five consecutive seasons (1996-2000), and amassed 15 victories and 118 top-10 finishes across 350 starts.
In addition to his success on the track, LaJoie's advocacy for racing seat safety is immeasurable — he started a racing seat company that placed a strong emphasis on educating both novice and experienced drivers across the country about the importance of safety in motorsports.
LaJoie, whose son Corey continues to race on the NASCAR national series level, was named one of NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers.
