CHICO, CA (August 22, 2024) — Corey Day began his defense of his Gold Cup Race of Champions title with a commanding performance Friday night at Silver Dollar Speedway with the Kubota High Limit Sprint Car Series.

Day quickly drove through the field from eighth starting position, taking the lead from Brad Sweet on lap eight. Day continued to dice with Sweet for the lead until lap 23 when Day used a slower car as a pick to extend his lead.

Sweet lost second position to Spencer Bayston in the closing stages of the feature event, eventually sliding off the race track and into the wall coming off turn four trying to keep pace.

Day pulled away from Bayston during the final restart to secure the victory. Bayston, Chase Johnson, Chris Windom, and Shane Golobic rounded out the top five.
