Corey Heim’s Rise to Cup Series

Denny Hamlin calls Corey Heim a rare gem, and 23XI Racing is locking him down for the long haul. After rising through the ranks with a dominant Truck Series resume and strong Cup appearances, Heim’s Cup debut next year in the No. 35 Toyota is just around the corner — even as he balances a part-time 2025 schedule with testing, grassroots racing, and select Truck events. Hamlin praises Heim’s patience and maturity, comparing his path to Tyler Reddick’s, while navigating NASCAR’s charter rules. Heim’s embracing the “notebook year” — taking risks, learning new tracks, and refining his craft to be fully ready for full-time Cup racing next season.
