Hendrick Motorsports is implementing a development plan for young driver Corey Day, similar to a proven model used with Corey Heim at 23XI Racing. Heim, who has achieved multiple Cup Series victories and a Truck Series championship, was gradually introduced to Cup after being given ample opportunity to learn and succeed. Day, currently 20 years old, will spend five-to-six races next year in the Spire Motorsports No. 17 in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series before potentially joining Hendrick Motorsports’ in-house No. 17 team.
Hendrick Motorsports’ director of driver development, Jeff Andrews, emphasized that the team is still developing its driver development program. He expressed optimism about Day’s potential and his readiness for full-time Cup racing, stating that the team will assess Day’s progress before committing him to a full-time Cup schedule. Day expressed his readiness for the challenge, acknowledging the differences between Late Model and Cup cars and his commitment to putting in the necessary work to succeed.
