If there’s anything certain about NASCAR Cup Series events, it’s that the viewers will definitely get their fair share of drama and action! And things weren’t much different at Martinsville Speedway, with Corey Lajoie and NASCAR’s own ‘bad boy’ Kyle Busch taking things to the next level. Fans certainly were entertained to witness yet another intense rivalry!

With Rowdy coming out bluntly at the #7 Spire Motorsport driver in his typical Busch style by calling him a “pain in the d**k,” the coming race at Talladega Super Speedway is undeniably going to be action-packed.

Well, the whole dogfight at Martinsville is just the tip of the iceberg as the Lajoie admitted trying to wreck Busch. Further, the #7 driver had a lot more to add to the dramatic episode as he revealed an interesting backstory with the #8 driver.

From what one can presume considering the exchanges that ensued after the kerfuffle, there’s definitely some bad blood between the two. And this week, Corey Lajoie mentions a backdrop to the whole tussle between the two.

Speaking to the popular Frontstretch media, Lajoie shared the interesting tale involving the Richard Childress Racing driver that happened last year. Apparently, the reporter was clever enough to ask him some interesting questions.

“You had a run-in with Kyle Busch at Martinsville, did you talk to him at all this week about?” asked the reporter.

To which Lajoie responded, citing the intense atmosphere on the track. As the driver coined it a “bad day”, Kyle Busch certainly wasn’t a fan. Briefly talking about his “bleeding position” at Martinsville, Lajoie left the rest to the viewer’s intellect as he said, “I was also bleeding position and he was also bleeding position. Just at a slower rate than I was and he drove on my left for a couple of times. So, I gave him a little door back. So, I mean, that’s just race.”

Further, the 31-year-old Charlotte native, mentioned “kickball” as he opened up about his mindset racing with the rest of the roster while taking us back to the bumps last year.

“When I’m on the race track, I almost put into context, ‘Okay! Who is gonna play who? Who’s gonna say yes when I ask him to play kickball here?’ In October, Kyle Busch said ‘no’ last year to kickball. So, I’m gonna give him one more door. Then I want somebody else is going to sign up like,” said Lajoie. 

How did the race go on with the bad blood spilling on the track?

Last week’s race did not favor the two as they were busily engaged in their dogfight while the rest of the pack raced ahead. The feud sparked between the #7 and #8, neither backed away! While the aggression between the two started on the front stretch when Lajoie bumped into the #8 Chevy, the clash left him spinning to the inside wall.

Busch being Busch did not shy away as he retaliated by rear-ending Lajoie and moving him out of the oncoming #8. Further, the picture became darker as the #7 driver’s team urged him to call it a night and retaliate with full force. Remembering the Denny Hamlin debacle, Lajoie did not want to be on the bad side of the organization.
