As if there was any doubt about how good Corey Heim is, the defending NASCAR Truck Collection champion earned his first profession Cup Collection win Sunday at Naval Base Coronado in his thirteenth begin.
Heim received round race chief, 23XI Racing teammate and Cup Collection factors chief Tyler Reddick with three laps to go after Reddick made a mistake getting into flip 2. Reddick was unable to chase Heim again down and had a flat left-front tire with two laps to go, relegating him to a Twenty fifth-place end.
Regardless of making contact with the wall after he handed Reddick, Heim was in a position to maintain on to the lead.
Heim is working a part-time Cup Collection schedule with 23XI in 2026 earlier than going full-time with the crew in 2027. The 23-year-old from Marietta, Georgia, already gained three Truck Collection races in 2026.
“I am speechless,” Heim instructed Prime Video. “Hit the wall a pair instances, possibly knocked some good into the automobile. I really feel like for some time there [Reddick] was enjoying with me. 5 to go got here, kinda time to place some strain on him. A whole lot of respect for him, although. Nice teammate. Loopy. It appears like a dream. That is insane.”
