Title: Hendrick Motorsports Welcomes Corey Day with Multi-Year Contract
Hendrick Motorsports has welcomed a fresh talent into their fold, as 19-year-old Corey Day has joined their Nascar Cup Series team on a multi-year deal. This emerging racing star, hailing from a dynasty of racers, made his debut in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2024.
Day's schedule for 2025 is jam-packed, featuring races across several series. These include the Xfinity Series, Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series, and Trans Am Series. With up to 30 races to conquer, this versatile driver is set to test his mettle on various racing terrains.
Rick Hendrick, the team's owner, shared his excitement, highlighting Day's impressive abilities, saying, "When Kyle Larson and Jeff Gordon speak highly of someone, it certainly warrants attention. Corey comes from a remarkable racing family and has demonstrated outstanding talent in a short span. His achievements so far have been remarkable, and his quick adaptation to pavement racing is impressive."
In his 2024 foray, Day competed in three ARCA Menards Series races, notching a best finish of fourth. He also dabbled in the Truck Series, with a notable top ten finish and a best result of 16th at Homestead.
Day expressed his gratitude and eagerness over this opportunity, referring to it as a 'dream scenario.' He said, "I am thankful to Mr. Hendrick and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group for offering me this platform to grow and compete at this level. There's still a lot to learn on pavement, but having their support instills immense confidence in me. I'm eager to work hard and absorb as much knowledge as I can, making this an exciting year for me."
This move is a strategic step for Hendrick Motorsports, aiming to strengthen its presence in the coming years. Meanwhile, Rajah Caruth, a driver sponsored by HendrickCars.com, is set to return to Spire Motorsports in 2025 after clinching his first win in 2024.
Corey Day's signing with Hendrick Motorsports was endorsed by notable Nascar drivers like Kyle Larson and Jeff Gordon. In addition to his participation in the Xfinity Series, Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series, and Trans Am Series in 2025, Day will also have the opportunity to learn from Rajah Caruth, who will continue racing for Spire Motorsports.
