NASCAR’s Social Media Buzz: Corey LaJoie, SVG, and the Viral Footwork Banter

Strap in, NASCAR aficionados, as the thrilling world of stock car racing presents yet another buzzworthy moment. It’s common knowledge that NASCAR thrives on high-speed antics and drama, with drivers pushing their stock cars to the edge. However, it’s often off the track and in the realms of social media where some of the most entertaining exchanges take place – a digital arena where fans and drivers trade quips and barbs as if they were swapping paint at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

In the latest digital drama, the spotlight is on Shane van Gisbergen, better known as SVG, and Corey LaJoie. SVG, a legend in the V8 Supercars series who turned heads with his victory in Chicago, and LaJoie, a well-known figure for his ‘Stacking Pennies’ podcast, recently had an amusing exchange. LaJoie made an unusual request – he wanted to see more of SVG’s driving footwork. Whether this was for analytical purposes or personal curiosity remained a mystery. But SVG, ever the opportunist, couldn’t let the moment pass. “Showing it for free, brother. Save your pennies,” he remarked, sparking a meme that will surely linger in the NASCAR social media sphere.

Fast forward to the present, where Chris Buescher, the wheelman of the number 17 Mustang for RFK Racing, posted a captivating video of his footwork on the challenging COTA circuit. This video offered an insightful peek into the intense precision and effort these drivers exert, or rather their feet, during a race to control their 700-horsepower beasts. Yet, social media, the true gem it is, seized this chance to have some fun at Corey LaJoie’s expense. One fan humorously referenced SVG’s quip at LaJoie in a tweet, “Hey, @CoreyLaJoie will pay for this content. Don’t be posting it for free ”, while assuring LaJoie it was all in jest.

The playful back-and-forth between SVG and LaJoie has provided the NASCAR community with a platform for harmless fun. A fan humorously pointed out, “@CoreyLaJoie now I know this isn’t SVG’s but it’s something and it’s free.” Other fans joined the fun with comments like “Free footwork? In this economy?!” and “Don’t tell Corey LaJoie.” The motive behind these comments is clear – LaJoie’s peculiar request combined with SVG’s witty retort has animated the NASCAR world, and Buescher’s video was the perfect opportunity for everyone to join in.

However, not all fans were poking fun at LaJoie. Some appreciated the video for its original intent – to showcase the immense skill and talent needed to maneuver these powerful machines around a track without faltering. “There is not enough appreciation for the skill it takes to maneuver these big heavy stock cars around these road courses,” one fan rightly noted. Buescher is indeed proficient at road courses, as evidenced by his victory over SVG last year at Watkins Glen.

This episode of banter and witticisms highlights the changing dynamics between drivers and fans. What used to be a private world is now becoming a source of entertainment for fans and drivers alike, as reflected in Joe Gibbs’ ‘Coach Rizz’ video and Brad Keselowski’s cost-cutting commercial. Drivers and teams are realizing the significance of connecting with fans on a personal level, and humor seems to be the best way to achieve it. This blend of sportsmanship, humor, and fan interaction is proving to be a winning formula in the NASCAR world.
