An already star-studded field for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 13 has gained another star driver.

On Monday, Henderson Motorsports announced that Corey LaJoie will pilot the team's No. 75 in the Fresh From Florida 250. LaJoie will also be running the 2026 Daytona 500 in a fourth RFK Racing entry and is running the Feb. 1 Cook Out Clash in place of RFK Racing's Brad Keselowski.

LaJoie joins a stacked entry list that also includes NASCAR Hall of Famer Tony Stewart and Travis Pastrana, among others.
