On a night when he didn't have the most dominant truck, Corey Heim still found a way to win Friday's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Richmond Raceway.

A late spin by race leader Ty Majeski opened the door for Heim to take advantage. Heim led the final 20 laps and scored his seventh victory of 2025, his first at Richmond and the 18th of his Truck Series career. At 23, Heim is the youngest driver in Truck Series history to reach 18 career victories.

"Obviously, the No. 98 was the best truck," Heim told Fox Sports. "We've had some get away on us this year; this is one that kind of redeems that."
