Corey Day (born November 28, 2005) is an American professional dirt track and stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the Kubota High Limit Sprint Car Series, driving the No. 14 for Jason Meyers Racing, part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the Nos. 81 and 91 Chevrolet Silverados for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the Nos. 28/82 Chevrolet SS for Pinnacle Racing Group, and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series East, driving the No. 82 Chevrolet SS for PRG.
Growing up in a racing family, Day began driving dirt bikes at a young age. At age 9, he broke his arm after racing dirt bikes competitively, which ended his career with dirt bike racing. After years of going through the ranks, he decided to try a hand in sprint car racing, with the help of his family, including his father, Ronnie Day, who was a West Coast racing legend.[1] [2]
Day began driving sprint cars in 2016, racing in the USAC Restricted Mirco Sprints for his family-owned team. He ran eleven races with a best finish of 3rd at Keller Auto Raceway. He continued to have great success with sprint cars over the years, earning numerous victories in that time span. In 2021, he earned his first career USAC National Midget Series win at Circle City Raceway, becoming the youngest driver to win a USAC National Series event.[3] In 2023, he won the King of the West Sprint Car Series and the Make-A-Wish Trophy Cup championships.[4] On December 8, it was announced that Day would run full-time in the Kubota High Limit Racing Series in 2024, driving the No. 14 for Jason Meyers Racing.[5] Throughout the season, he scored wins at RPM Speedway, Red Dirt Raceway, Riverside International Speedway, I-70 Motorsports Park, and Lake Ozark Speedway.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
On April 27, 2024, it was announced that Day would make his debut in late model racing, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports at Hickory Motor Speedway.[11] After finishing 7th in the first feature event, he started on the outside pole for the final feature. He would end up leading nearly every lap to win the race in his first career start.[12]
On July 24, 2024, it was announced that Day will run three races in the ARCA Menards Series for Pinnacle Racing Group, driving the No. 28 car with sponsorship from HendrickCars.com.[13] [14] [15] [16]
