Hendrick Motorsports outlines development plan for Corey Day
Summary

Hendrick Motorsports executive Jeff Andrews has detailed a developmental strategy identified as The Corey Day Plan. This initiative mirrors the recent career trajectory of Corey Heim, who established a successful record in the Cup Series with 23XI Racing before entering full-time competition.

The strategy highlights the organization's focus on structured progression for incoming prospects as they prepare for higher levels of NASCAR competition.
