If you think Kyle Larson is good, wait until Corey Day gets here.
Maybe that’s an unrealistic expectation, but the 18-year-old Sprint Car prodigy will make his Truck Series debut on Thursday night at Bristol Motor Speedway and there is a great deal of hype associated with his arrival.
Like Larson, Day is a Sprint Car and Midget ace who has already started winning at a high percentage rate and is currently third in the High Limit Racing national championship and third in the Midweek Money sub-series driving for two-time World of Outlaws champion Jason Myers.
In addition to marquee Sprint Car wins at Knoxville and in the Gold Cup Race of Champions, he also podiumed in the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals and Knoxville Nationals earlier this season. That has garnered the attention of Hendrick Motorsports, that has him signed to a development contract, which has seen him competed in both ARCA and Late Model Stocks.
He won a race at Hickory in Late Models, albeit in a twin feature format, in which the second race was inverted.
