What’s Happening?

Corey Day, Hendrick Motorsports’ 19-year-old prospect, has added another to his 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule at World Wide Technology Raceway on Sept. 6.

  • Day, a sprint car racing standout in Kyle Larson’s High Limit Series, signed a developmental deal with HMS earlier this season. As part of this deal, he is making part-time starts in the Trans AM, ARCA Menards, NASCAR Truck, and Xfinity Series.
  • This year, Day was initially slated for ten starts in HMS’ No. 17 car, though with the addition of WWT Raceway, he will enter 11 Xfinity Series races. So far, Day has an average finish of 19.2 and a best finish of 11th at Nashville Superspeedway. Though he has struggled, Day is still adjusting to asphalt racing.
  • He has also made seven starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with Spire Motorsports and is slated to make his final Truck Series start of the season with the team at Darlington on Saturday. Day started out his year with a pole position at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and a career best 2nd place finish at Indianapolis Raceway Park in July.
  • Prior to this season, Day made sporadic starts in the ARCA Menards Series and Truck Series with support from Hendrickcars.com, a telling sign he was a shoe-in for the HMS pipeline. Right now, there are no clear plans for his 2026 season, though rumors suggest he could be full-time for HMS in the Xfinity Series.
