Day‘s first experience in a NASCAR national series occurred in 2024, when, with Hendrick support, he made his Truck Series debut in the No. 81 McAnally-Hilgemann Racing Chevrolet at Bristol Motor Speedway in September. Day totaled four Truck starts in 2024, with a best finish of 16th at Homestead-Miami Speedway in October 2024.
“When Kyle Larson and Jeff Gordon say someone is the real deal, it certainly gets your attention,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports in a team release. “Corey comes from a great racing family and in a short time has shown a level of talent that sets him apart. What he‘s already accomplished at this point in his career speaks volumes, and it‘s been impressive to see how quickly he‘s adapted to pavement. We‘re excited to welcome him to our team.”
