2012 NASCAR Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski has acknowledged NASCAR Truck Series driver Corey Heim as one of the up-and-coming superstars of NASCAR. The Toyota prodigy is currently racing in the sport’s third tier, driving the No:11 Tundra of Tricon Garage after joining the team from Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2023.

Keselowski made the point in a video that was shared on X (previously Twitter) by RFK Racing, the team he co-owns. He was shown opening a new pack of NASCAR trading cards with the enthusiasm of a child. White doing so, he came across Heim’s card and kept on the side as he saw the youngsters’ massive potential.

Corey Heim, up and coming superstar. That one I would put in the corner, that one’s going to be worth something.

Heim was one of the four cards from the pack of Panini America NASCAR trading cards Keselowski saw as worth keeping. Two were of NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., and the third was of his Ford teammate Ryan Blaney. It was the special 2023 Championship card of the reigning champion of NASCAR.
