Corey Heim clinches NASCAR Truck Series regular-season championship at IRP

With two races left in the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular season, Corey Heim has already wrapped up the regular-season title. 

With a fourth-place finish in Friday's T-Sport 200 at Indianapolis Raceway Park, Heim clinched the regular-season championship and the extra 15 playoff points that come with it. It's the second time Heim has won the regular-season championship, as he also earned the title in 2023. 

Heim's historic 2025 campaign has seen the Marietta, Georgia, native win five races, lead 1,018 laps, earn 10 top-five finishes and score 12 top-10 results.

"It feels really good," Heim told Fox Sports. "Just a testament to how good we've been this year. I feel like this is probably the first race where I haven't had a legitimate shot to compete for the win. That really says something. Just really proud of all the guys at TRICON Garage, they've been lights out this year." 

Heim has won 14 races since the start of the 2023 season, but he is yet to win a Truck Series championship. That could change for the 23-year-old driver this fall, as he enters the postseason with more speed and experience than he's ever had. 

Heim's abundance of playoff points will make it easier for him as he tries to make it back to the Championship 4 for the third consecutive season and goes for his first Truck Series title. 

Following the final two races of the Truck Series regular season at Watkins Glen (Aug. 8) and Richmond (Aug. 15), the Truck Series playoffs will commence at Darlington Raceway on Aug. 30 with the first race of the Round of 10.
