Christopher Bell can relate a little bit to what Corey Day is about to experience on Thursday night as a successful Sprint Car and Midget racer making his debut Truck Series appearance. On one hand, Bell spent way more time in ARCA and Late Models than Day has to this point,

Corey Day will attempt his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, the team announced Sept. 16. It’s a four-race deal for Day, who is in the No. 81 for Bristol and Martinsville Speedway. It’ll be the first time the No. 81 has been on track in 2024.

Corey Day, a standout dirt racing talent, secures a four-race stint in the NASCAR Truck Series with McAnally-Hilgemann Racing.

Day is one of the hottest prospects on the dirt scene right now, and he is currently signed with Chevrolet and the JR Motorsports pipeline. He recently made his transition to pavement and late models, and with that came his ARCA Menards Series debut at Salem Speedway back in July with Pinnacle Racing Group.

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.
