Corey Heim’s Historic Cup Win

Corey Heim stunned the NASCAR world with his first Cup Series win at San Diego’s street course—his 13th start—and barely held off Tyler Reddick in a wild finish. Starting low, Heim battled back thanks to crew chief Bootie Barker’s strategy, admitting he wasn’t confident until the last laps. The win came with controversy: Heim clipped Carson Hocevar and had a close call with Reddick, who showed sportsmanship after contact before blowing a tire himself. Bubba Wallace took second, giving 23XI Racing a one-two punch, while Kyle Larson, Zane Smith, and A.J. Allmendinger rounded out the top five. Heim’s breakthrough sets him up for a full-time Cup season next year, while Reddick’s slim point lead over Denny Hamlin now hangs by a thread with just nine races left.
