Corey Heim’s Historic Brickyard Win | Indianapolis News

Corey Heim stunned the NASCAR world with a gutsy Brickyard 400 win, outdueling Denny Hamlin and surviving brutal conditions to claim his second victory of the year — a rare feat for a rookie. The 24-year-old, set for a full-time Cup campaign, battled through chaos, dirty air, and loose grip to pull off the upset. Meanwhile, Hamlin — co-owner of Heim’s team — fell short in his 18th Indy attempt, finishing fifth. Todd Gilliland stole the spotlight with a shocking $1M In-Season Challenge win after a massive pile-up wiped out top contenders like Ryan Blaney. Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott were sidelined early by tire woes, extending Larson’s winless streak to 46 races. With the Cup series taking a break before Iowa, where William Byron reigns, fans brace for more drama on a track notorious for tire trouble.
