Hendrick Motorsports Top Prospect Suffers Major Crash

What’s Happening?

Hendrick Motorsports developmental driver Corey Day suffered a scary crash last night during the High Limit Racing event at Eagle Raceway in Nebraska.

• During the A Feature during Tuesday night festivities, the 19-year-old was racing eventual winner Buddy Kofoid for the lead with five to go. On the backstretch, Day caught the outside retaining wall and flipped over the turn three walls into the track’s catch fence.
• Day exited his No. 14BC sprint car quickly, telling Flosports, “I’d redo that one, but I was trying.” The sprint car racing prodigy went on to reflect on how grateful he was to be unharmed in a post on X, stating, “First off, I sit here thanking the man above for keeping me safe, and allowing me to be able to race another day.”
• When Day is not racing Sprint Cars, he is the top prospect for Hendrick Motorsports, racing part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series alongside the ARCA Series and Trans-Am Series. So far, his first season racing in NASCAR has not been great; despite speed in qualifying, Day shows that he is slowly adjusting to pavement racing.
• Prior to his time with HMS, Day made his name racing in Sprint Cars, and he still does so when his schedule allows him to. He often competes in the High Limit Series, which is part-owned by fellow HMS driver Kyle Larson.
