MOORESVILLE, N.C. Spire Motorsports will field HendrickCars.com Chevrolets in select NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series races for open-wheel standout and Hendrick Motorsports driver Corey Day.

Day, 19, will compete in four ARCA Menards Series races behind the wheel of the No. 77 Chevrolet beginning with the Feb. 15 Daytona ARCA 200 at Daytona International Speedway. In preparation for the event, Day will participate in the Jan. 9-10 ARCA Series test at the World Center of Racing.

In addition to the four-race ARCA slate, Day will compete in eight Craftsman Truck Series races behind the wheel of the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado. HendrickCars.com will serve as Days primary sponsor in all 12 events.

Veteran crew chief Mark McFarland will lead Days ARCA effort while Brian Pattie will continue to lead the No. 7 Silverado.

When racing on dirt, you see the small, quarter-mile bullrings and the big, fast half-mile tracks, explained Day. Either way, the racing doesnt change all that much. But on the pavement, you will run on everything from aggressive short tracks, to technical road courses and the beasts that are superspeedways. No matter the racetrack, there are several things I need to learn in these pavement cars to eventually gain that versatility. Im excited to get down to Daytona, run some laps and build a notebook of knowledge about drafting tracks.

Following the ARCA season-opener, Day is scheduled to return to the cockpit of the No. 77 Chevy at Phoenix Raceway (March 7), Sonoma Raceway (July 11) and Kansas Speedway (Sept. 26).

His eight-race Craftsman Truck Series schedule will include:

Las Vegas Motor Speedway March 14

Homestead-Miami Speedway March 21

Martinsville Speedway March 28

Bristol Motor Speedway April 11

Rockingham Speedway April 18

Nashville Superspeedway May 30

Indianapolis Raceway Park July 25

Darlington Raceway August 30

The 2024 schedule also saw him transition to the pavement ranks where he scored a win in his late model stock car debut in the second of twin 40-lap features at Hickory Motor Speedway. Day continued to climb the ladder last season with four starts a piece in both the ARCA Menards and Truck Series.

Those races will help me immensely, said Day. I think having any time on pavement helps me understand the feel of the car and even just how the shows run. When I was preparing for my first ARCA race last year, I had no feel for what to expect when I hit the race track. Now I have an idea of what to expect, but there will obviously be some growing pains to feel out. I have the baseline, I just need to continue to shape and refine my craft to continue to improve. I never thought my career would end up here. I only started racing sprint cars three years ago, so it is crazy how fast my career has progressed just in that time. Im super grateful for all the people along the way that believed in me and my abilities to get me to this point.
