Corey Heim

Corey David Heim (born July 5, 2002) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 11 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for Tricon Garage, part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 24 Toyota GR Supra for Sam Hunt Racing, and part-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving No. 67 Toyota Camry XSE for 23XI Racing, as a development driver for 23XI. He also competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 25 Toyota Camry for Venturini Motorsports. He has previously competed in the ARCA Menards Series East, and the ARCA Menards Series West.

Heim raced in Legends cars, winning the 2016 Young Lions division and the 2017 Thursday Thunder Pro division championship at Atlanta Motor Speedway.^[1] He later transitioned to running super late models, driving in events sanctioned by the CARS Tour, Southern Super Series, Pro All-Stars Series (PASS), and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.^[1] Late in 2018, Heim crossed the finish line first in the ValleyStar Credit Union 300, but lost the race on a rules procedure.^[2] A short time later, he won his first super late model race, at South Boston Speedway.^[3] Even after moving up to national touring series, Heim still raced at large late model events like Short Track Nationals,^[4] and almost scored a PASS win at Richmond Raceway in March 2018 before being disqualified because of engine spacers.^[5]

Heim began racing in the ARCA Menards Series in 2019. He joined Chad Bryant Racing to run 13 of 20 ARCA Menards Series events in the team's No. 22 car.^[1] He scored a top-five finish in his series debut, which came at Five Flags Speedway in March.^[6] Despite not running the full season, Heim ended up finishing 10th in the standings. Although he went winless, Heim never failed to finish any of his races, and scored a top-ten in all of them except for Nashville, where he finished eleventh.

On January 12, 2020, Heim announced a full-season CARS Late Model Stock Tour schedule with Lee Pulliam Performance.^[7] On January 16, it was announced that Heim would join Venturini Motorsports for seven total races: three in the ARCA Menards Series East, and two apiece in the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series West.^[8] On January 25, Heim won the SpeedFest 200 late model race in Georgia.^[9] On July 24, Heim placed fourth at Kansas Speedway in ARCA Menards Series competition after a flat tire dropped him from second on the final lap.^[10] In his return to Kansas in October, Heim led the most laps and won the race.^[11]

In 2021, Heim was promoted to a full-time deal with Venturini, driving the No. 20 in the main ARCA Menards Series, replacing Chandler Smith and Ryan Repko. Smith moved up to the Truck Series full-time in 2021 with Kyle Busch Motorsports. Heim's crew chief that year would be Shannon Rursch, who moved over from Venturini's No. 15 car of Drew Dollar.^[12] Heim would start the season with a win in the season-opener at Daytona. Throughout the season, he scored wins at Talladega, Pocono, Elko, Watkins Glen, and Illinois.^{[13][14][15][16][17]} He was known for having a season-long rivalry with Ty Gibbs, who ended up as the 2021 champion, with Heim finishing second by 37 points.

Heim continued to run for Venturini in 2022, running a seven-race slate.^[18] He scored wins at Daytona and Kansas during the season.^[19][20]

After a three-year hiatus, Heim returned to ARCA competition in 2025, driving for Venturini in their No. 25 car at Michigan, subbing for the original driver, Jake Finch, who suffered from an illness prior to the race.^[21] Heim ended up finishing 2nd in the race.

On April 19, 2021, Kyle Busch revealed in an interview that Heim would make his Truck Series debut in the No. 51 for his Kyle Busch Motorsports team at Darlington.^[22] Heim made his NCWTS debut at Darlington Raceway on May 7 in the Kyle Busch Motorsports number 51 truck. He would finish 23rd after being wrecked from behind on a late race restart.

Heim rejoined KBM for a 15-race Truck schedule in 2022.^[23] On March 19, 2022, Heim won his first NCWTS race at his home track of Atlanta with a last lap pass of his teammate Chandler Smith. He won his second race at Gateway, but because he did not run a full-time schedule, he was ineligible for the playoffs. Despite missing seven races, Heim finished the season 14th in points and won the 2022 Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year honors.^[24]

On October 27, 2022, David Gilliland Racing announced that they will be moving to Toyota Racing Development in 2023, and renaming to Tricon Garage (with Tricon styled in all-capital letters). That same day, Heim was announced as one of the full-time drivers for the team.^[25] Heim scored his first win of the season at Martinsville.^[26] He was forced to miss Gateway due to an illness; Jesse Love substituted for him and finished ninth in the race.^[27] Despite missing one race, Heim maintained the points lead and scored his second win at Mid-Ohio.^[28] At the conclusion of the Richmond race, Heim claimed the regular season championship.^[29] During the playoffs, Heim won at Bristol.^[30] Heim finished third at Homestead to make the Championship 4.^[31] He finished eighteenth at Phoenix after being spun out by Carson Hocevar and third in the final points standings.^[32] However, on November 8, 2023, Heim was penalized 25 driver points and fined $12,500 by NASCAR for intentionally wrecking Hocevar with three laps to go; the loss of driver points resulted in Heim dropping to fourth in the points standings.^[33]

Heim started the 2024 season with a second place finish at Daytona. Throughout the regular season, he scored wins at COTA, Kansas, North Wilkesboro, Gateway, and Pocono.^{[34][35][36][37][38]} During the playoffs, Heim won at Kansas.^[39] He finished 2nd in the final final points standings.

Heim started the 2025 season with another second-place finish at Daytona; however, the initial race winner, Parker Kligerman, failed post-race inspection after it was found that his truck was too low. Kligerman was disqualified and Heim would be awarded the win.^[40] He also scored wins at Las Vegas, Texas, Charlotte, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, and Richmond.^[41][42]

On April 29, 2023, Heim made his Xfinity Series debut at Dover, driving the Sam Hunt Racing No. 24 Toyota to a 35th place DNF after experiencing engine failure.^[43] Two weeks later, he finished tenth at Darlington. He ran two more races that season, finishing 37th at Pocono and fifteenth at Darlington in September. On January 10, 2024, it was announced that Heim will return to Sam Hunt Racing in 2024, running another part-time schedule in the No. 26 car.^[44]

On February 23, 2025, it was announced that Heim would return to Sam Hunt Racing, competing part-time for a third season for the team.^[45]

On January 25, 2024, it was announced that Heim would join Legacy Motor Club and 23XI Racing as their reserve driver throughout the Cup Series in 2024. In addition, he would also serve as Legacy's simulator driver.^[46] Heim would make his Cup Series debut at Dover as a result of an injury suffered by Erik Jones the previous weekend at Talladega.^[47] Heim would finish in 25th, three laps down. Heim would also race in the No. 43 at Kansas, finishing 22nd and on the lead lap, despite Jones being cleared to race.^[48]

On February 23, 2025, it was announced that Heim had signed a multi-year deal with 23XI Racing to be the team's development driver, which includes driving a partial schedule in the No. 67 Toyota.^[49]

Heim is the son of Lisa and Ray Heim. Ray Heim was a former late model racer and the Chief Technology Officer at Pen-Tech Associates, Inc in Kennesaw, Georgia.^[50][51] Heim graduated from Kennesaw Mountain High School.^[52]
