Corey Day Rides the Wall at Tri-City Speedway to Second High Limit Win of Year
GRANITE CITY, Ill.—Corey Day comes back on tour with Kubota High Limit Racing for a week or so, and it's like he never left at all.
Earning his second win of the season in five tries, the 19-year-old Clovis, California native came from the fourth starting spot to earn a $12,000 payday at Tri-City Speedway for his ninth career trip to Whiskey Myers Victory Lane.
The moment of the race came on Lap 10 when the Jason Meyers Racing, Meyers Constructors No. 14BC pulled a sensational "diamond" maneuver in turns three and four, cutting down and flying by both Brad Sweet and Tanner Thorson in one corner to take control of the lead by 0.099-seconds.
From there, Day paced the final 20 laps of the race but experienced his fair share of close calls between beating down the outside wall and encountering lap traffic in the closing stages.
Ultimately, it was a 1.763-second margin of victory for Day and the No. 14BC - extending their early-season success with runs of 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 1st in their only five tries in 2025.
Brad Sweet enjoyed a championship level bounce back following a DNF from the night before, finishing second at Tri-City. That extends the championship lead to 49-points for the Kasey Kahne Racing, NAPA Auto Parts No. 49.
Justin Peck put the Rudeen Racing, Ford Performance No. 26 on the podium for the second-straight night since putting a new Ford power plant under the hood.
Championship contenders Tyler Courtney and Brent Marks closed out the top-five to minimize the damage in the title chase.
Two of the biggest performers of the night ended with DNF's in the result category as early leader Tanner Thorson suffered a flat right rear and hard-charging Spencer Bayston saw his night end when he bounced into the wall while running third and chasing Sweet.
Rounding out the top-10 at Tri-City was Chase Randall, Danny Sams III, Kasey Kahne, Ayrton Gennette, and Cory Eliason.
