NASCAR Drinking Game: Take a Shot Every Time Jamie Little Mentions Corey Heim

MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Watching the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on Fox lately has started to feel like tuning into a cooking show from a bunker in Charlotte rather than a high-speed race from the track. Jamie Little and the Fox crew are stationed in a green-screen studio miles away from the roar of the engines, the smell of burnt rubber, and the chaos of pit road. It’s technically “coverage,” but it feels more like a pre-recorded video call that forgot to include the camera operator. No press box. No pit road access. Just a static backdrop, a teleprompter, and an ever-growing obsession that has Fox’s truck broadcast spiraling into pure comedy: Jamie Little and her Corey Heim glaze.

Yes, Corey Heim is an incredible driver — fast, savvy, exciting. But there are 30-plus other drivers out there on any given weekend, from Layne Riggs and Grant Enfinger to the up-and-coming Brent Crews and “Butterbean” Queen himself. Tyler Ankrum and Daniel Hemric are grinding to make their mark, and Toni Breidinger continues breaking barriers as a female driver in the series. Yet somehow, the Fox broadcast seems to forget all of them, zooming in on Heim every restart, every pit stop, every comment, every glance. It has become a drinking game for NASCAR fans everywhere: take a sip every time Jamie mentions Heim. Warning: by Stage 2, you may be legally buzzed. And yes, Heim already has a girlfriend of a year — so the obsessive glaze is starting to feel a little freakishly personal.
