Pockrass revealed the change in a larger interview with Keselowski concerning the recovery from the broken femur he sustained in December.
Keselowski said he plans to be ready to race in time for the Daytona 500.
LaJoie’s substitution is his first announced seat time in NASCAR’s national series for 2026. He made four NASCAR Cup Series starts in 2025 for Rick Ware Racing, plus nine races in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Spire Motorsports.
Keselowski earned six top fives and 13 top 10s in the No. 6 in 2025.
