Hendrick Motorsports, a dominant force in NASCAR, continues to reinforce its legacy with a remarkable 312 Cup Series race victories and 14 championships for both drivers and owners. Renowned for its strategic investments, the team has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to scout and develop top talent. From leading innovations in car engineering to nurturing drivers who eventually become household names, Hendrick Motorsports has firmly established itself as a symbol of success.
Further solidifying its future, the team has made a significant move by signing a rising star: 19-year-old Corey Day. With deep roots in a family of racers, Day’s impressive track record includes earning the 2022 Chili Bowl Nationals Rookie of the Year title and securing multiple victories across various racing disciplines.
Day expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, saying:
“This is a dream come true. I’m thankful to Mr. Hendrick and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports and Hendrick Automotive Group for giving me a platform to grow and compete at this level. There’s still much for me to learn on pavement, but having such incredible support boosts my confidence. I’m eager to work hard and absorb everything I can. It’s going to be an exciting year.”
Rick Hendrick, the legendary team owner, shared his enthusiasm about the new addition, stating:
“When Kyle Larson and Jeff Gordon both speak highly of someone, it certainly grabs your attention. Corey comes from an excellent racing family, and in a short period, he has demonstrated talent that stands out. His accomplishments thus far are impressive, and it’s been exciting to see how quickly he’s adapted to pavement racing. We’re thrilled to welcome him to our team.”
Corey Day will compete in nearly 30 events in 2025, across the NASCAR Xfinity, Craftsman Truck, ARCA Menards, and TransAm Series. Backed by endorsements from NASCAR legends like Kyle Larson and Jeff Gordon, Day is set to make a significant impact on the sport, continuing the legacy of Hendrick Motorsports.
