The two-time ARCA Menards Series East champion from Johnston, Iowa, reeled in, slingshotted and outdueled teammate Carson Kvapil on the final lap to snatch his first elusive O'Reilly victory of the 2026 season and his second national touring series victory of this weekend at Talladega.
The 20-year-old Day from Clovis, California, led 55 of 200 laps and rallied from an early pit road penalty to outduel Justin Allgaier and Jesse Love during a 10-lap shootout to notch back-to-back O'Reilly Auto Parts Series' victories in the Chase and be only seven points behind the points lead with four-scheduled events remaining.
The reigning CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour champion from Chesapeake, Virginia, led the final 10 of 80 laps and commenced his first full-time ARCA campaign with Pinnacle Racing Group by scoring his first career victory at the World Center of Racing.
