Corey “ SuperShoe” Lajoie, oldest son of two time BUSCH series Champion Randy LaJoie, swept the dust off his Lajoie’s Scrap Yard, Harris Trucking, Stock Car Steel, Joie Of Seating & Team Onion Pro-Challenge Monte Carlo for a convincing win at the world’s fastest ½ mile at Bristol Motor Speedway. Corey initially set the fastest time to grab the pole position, but had a problem with his fuel after post qualifying inspection which relegated the #7-11 to the rear of the field on race day. After making changes that the officials wanted, Corey was looking forward to starting in the rear so, as he put it: “I could pass some cars”. With the green flag waving and his father in the spotter stand, Shoe started his march to the front, working the high side like a true veteran with poise and patience.

“It must run in the family having bad restarts, as my Dad was never known for having great restarts and I about gave the race away with a real bad one myself, thank god I had another shot at it, plus I had Dad in my ear to get up on the wheel, which I was able to do”, Corey explained from victory lane. “Winning here is great, it’s cool to win at a place Dad never did so for right now, I’ve got one up on him. But, I know I’ve got a long way to go to accomplishe what he’s done, but it’s still exciting to win here with Dad and my crew that gave me such a great car today”. Supershoe continued, “Dad made some changes after the first practice which really helped the car, I’ve always said having my Dad in my corner is a big advantage because he’s 'been there, done that' before and knows what I need to make the chassis better. I owe this win to him and my Grandfather Don LaJoie... without them none of this would be possible. Corey was sitting in a full custom racing seat by The Joie of Seating.

Matt Kobyluck overcame a near last lap disaster to win his 2nd BUSCH East event of 2007. This is big," said Koblyuck. "When you win one road course race it’s great to put it on your resume. To win another one really solidifies you as a legitimate road racer.To do it with Mohegan Sun Casino as the sponsor of the race, to do it after what happened a couple of weeks ago at Adirondack, and to do it to and have a great point’s day is just awesome!” said an ecstatic Koblyuck after the race.” I took the white and I was pretty much on cruise control at that point because I had Mike by five or six car lengths," said Kobyluck. "I wasn’t pushing it that hard – just hard enough to maintain that,” he recalled. “I came around the last turn before the bridge and my spotter told me there was a local yellow on the downhill) I came over the hill and the track was all oil.

I knew we were going to go off course and I was just going to try to not tear up the car. I wanted to salvage what I could out of it. Suddenly I was sideways! I don’t know how I saved it, but in the process I hit the kill switch with my elbow and killed the car. When I got back out on the racetrack I couldn’t go, but I don’t know how, but I knew I had done that and hit the kill switch again and took off and went. I don’t know how much I beat the 44 car to the line, but it couldn’t have been by much. It was crazy!”

Kobyluck came away with the hardware and is now back in shot of the points lead Matt was sitting in a full custom.
