After car manufacturer Acura launched their all-new “next-gen” Integra, NASCAR driver Corey LaJoie took to Twitter to share a post joking that Acura will come to NASCAR in 2023. Fans soon followed suit and shared their humor in reacting to the so-called “Next Gen” car.

LaJoie retweeted one of Acura’s Twitter posts saying, Acura to NASCAR 2023 confirmed.” Acura had simply put up a post to introduce their all-new Integra along with a visionary artist named JN Silva. Fans reacted to LaJoie’s tweet with a hint of humor and a squeeze of sarcasm.

This was just LaJoie poking fun at Acura for calling one of their newer models after NASCAR’s “Next-Gen” cars. It would be fun if it was true, but alas it isn’t, or at least till Acura officially says so.

While speaking on a podcast Lajoie mentioned, “This might be an ice cold take. I’ve heard that this is the last year that we’re going on the road course, and I hope so. There’s nothing that gets me excited to go to the road course at Indy. We’re gonna dig into my launching a 3700-pound vehicle about six feet in the air today. It’s not a crown jewel race, no it ain’t. It ain’t the Brickyard if you’re going the opposite way over it.”
