Corey Day is having a highlight start to his first full NASCAR season, and taking the good with the bad. We’re digging into it all this week, starting with having more straightforward weeks now after a 2025 of jumping from series to series; getting into a weekly routine of what is expected of him; the balance of using the simulator and when needing to adjust in real life from the virtual laps; the feeling of having a real job now and the world calming down around him after the hectic of last season; the learning experiences of the first few weeks of not having many friends and making mistakes; being insulated from the outside criticism about him and getting advice from Rick Hendrick; going from defense to offense in a quick amount of time to learn how to race in the top 10; a reflection on Rockingham and want it meant, but not being able to run for the win; how he went into the offseason ahead of this full-time opportunity; recognizing his strength and weaknesses early in the season, and why a live pit road is not weird to him; loving all the communication that comes with being a NASCAR driver; enjoying the firsts that he’s experiencing; if he truly believed the start of the season would be this solid; the outlook for how much better the team can get an any changing expectations.
