What’s Happening?

Hendrick Motorsports is promoting prospect Corey Day to a full-time ride for the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.

• Day will drive the team’s No. 17 car, with crew chief Adam Wall at the top of the pit box for the coming season. Day made 11 starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this past season, scoring a best finish of fourth at Las Vegas last month.
• This announcement marks Day’s first full-time effort in NASCAR, with the dirt racing prodigy entering 24 races across the Craftsman Truck, OAP, and ARCA Menards Series this season. His entry next season will also be the first time HMS has entered a full-time car in the OAP Series since 2006.
• Day made his name racing on dirt in sprint cars, competing at a high level throughout his young career. Though he has struggled on asphalt, the 19-year-old has shown potential in his limited starts.
• This past season, the No. 17 made 21 starts in the Xfinity Series, with Day and six other drivers, including the four HMS Cup Series drivers, sharing the starts. In total, the No. 17 had two wins, nine top fives, and 10 top tens.
