Corey Day makes bold move for dramatic finish at Las Vegas

At Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, Corey Day executed a daring last-lap maneuver, narrowly passing Carson Kvapil to finish first in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race. Day's aggressive driving style, likened to his sprint car roots, allowed him to maintain throttle after hitting the wall, ultimately crossing the finish line just 0.287 seconds ahead of Kvapil. Day dominated much of the race, leading 136 of 201 laps, and his performance has stirred conversations about his potential future in higher-tier stock car racing. With his current seat secured for 2027, Day is set to begin competing in the Cup Series next year, participating in 5 to 6 races through a technical alliance with Spire Motorsports.
