Randy LaJoie began racing cars in 1979 at a short track in Danbury, CT. He won the NASCAR Busch North Championship in 1985 and the NASCAR Busch Series Championships in 1996 and 1997. It was at this time that he began building his own race seats when he could not find what he was seeking in a safer driver seat. His seats were noticed by other NASCAR drivers and that led to the creation of "The Joie of Seating". The company, based in Concord, NC, is becoming the leader in supplying seats for drivers of all ages and in all kinds of divisions. seat leasing program to help parents change seats as their child grows.

Taking Safety to the Short Tracks..LaJoie: Randy LaJoie announced the launch of his Safer Racer Tour Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Tour will visit short tracks all over the country to educate racers on the importance of safety. Only an estimated 30% of short-track race cars are up to safety standards. According to LaJoie, getting the safety features in the cars is an uphill battle. Cost issues as well as negative attitudes are a huge obstacle. Lajoie hopes to work with drivers, track promoters and even chassis builders to get the word out.
