The 2023 NASCAR Cup season is well underway and there have been some great performances. Among the most improved drivers is Spire Motorsports’ Corey LaJoie, who has been quite impressive. In the first three races of the season, he took back-to-back Top 20 finishes, with a best finish of 14th. That was at the Auto Club Speedway, and his form did not stop there.
In fact, he improved to a fine 4th place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. It was actually his best-ever finish in the Cup Series, beating 5th place, which was again at Atlanta.
Now, the driver is being somewhat rewarded with a brand new sponsor later in the season.

As it turns out, LaJoie and Spire Motorsports is linking up with rising aviation startup, Aerovanti. This is a significant boost for the company, whose rise has been meteoric. Owing to this partnership, the brand will probably get a lot more exposure and visibility.

The company primarily deals with private aviation and was launched in July 2021. As per its website, since its launch, Aerovanti experienced a 400% growth in just about two years. In the process, they have made a lot of waves in the private aviation industry. As a brand, they have been going from strength to strength.

Now, they can add another feather to the cap, namely as the primary sponsor for a NASCAR Cup team. Admittedly, it is a one-off, but it could open the doors for a future role as a primary sponsor on a more permanent basis. That is unless LaJoie can keep his car from getting too banged up and finishing in a high position. This partnership is expected to take shape at the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the annual Coca-Cola 600. In other words, there are still six weeks before the name Aerovanti, is emblazoned on the car.
