Eighteen-year-old Sprint Car star Corey Day will continue his racing development by making three ARCA Menards Series starts this season. In addition to his previously announced debut with Pinnacle Racing Group at Salem Speedway this Saturday, Day will also be competing in ARCA events at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 19 and Kansas Speedway on September 27.
Hendrick Automotive Group made the announcement on Wednesday that Day will be driving the No. 28 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet in all three races.

Pinnacle Racing Group has scored four ARCA wins this season with Connor Mosack and Connor Zilisch behind the wheel. Zilisch most recently took PRG to victory lane last Friday night in the ARCA Menards Series race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
In April, Day made his pavement racing debut driving the JR Motorsports Late Model Stock Car at Hickory Motor Speedway. Following a seventh-place finish in the first 40-lap feature, he led every lap of the second feature to claim his first win on pavement. He has not raced a pavement race since that night.

Day will now make his ARCA Menards Series debut and second-ever pavement racing start on one of the most challenging pavement short tracks in the country at Salem Speedway. Salem Speedway is a 0.555-mile oval with 33 degrees of banking in the corners, the same amount of banking as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. The only pavement track with more banking in America is Winchester Speedway, Salem's Indiana sister-track.
The California native is trying to follow a path set before him by the likes of Larson, who just claimed his first Brickyard 400 victory on Sunday, and Christopher Bell, who both came from the Sprint Car and Midget racing world and now contend regularly for race wins and championships at NASCAR's highest level.
Day is a five-time winner with Kubota High Limit Racing this season and currently sits fifth in the series point standings. He also picked up a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series win at Knoxville Raceway and won the $62,000-to-win Super Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway.
