Corey Heim Matches NASCAR Truck Season Win Record with Loudon Triumph

Corey Heim wins at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, his ninth victory of 2025, tying Greg Biffle’s 1999 single-season record.

The result is his 20th career win and consolidates the championship lead, with maximum stage points underscoring TRICON Garage’s operational sharpness.

The race quickly turns attritional. An opening-lap crash collects Connor Mosack, Brent Crews, and Tanner Gray, before a larger incident snares Jayson Alexander, Caleb Costner, and playoff contender Daniel Hemric.

Heim controls the tempo and secures Stage 1 under caution after Derek White suffers a mechanical failure and hits the wall.

Strategy reshuffles the order at Stage 2’s start. Heim drops outside the top ten as several trucks stay out, while Andres Perez leads for the first time.

Gio Ruggiero applies pressure but cannot convert. A late caution for Patrick Emerling triggers a sprint, and Heim charges to the stage win.

Rajah Caruth extends his run to maximize points, leads a restart, and banks seventh at the flag after defensive work.

The final stage remains turbulent. Tyler Tomassi crashes, and Toni Breidinger suffers a heavy outside-wall impact, as Ben Rhodes and Matt Crafton pick up damage.

All drivers are evaluated and released, with NASCAR’s safety standards and equipment again central to outcomes, including fire‑suit protection under repeated cautions.

On the final restart, Chandler Smith narrows the gap to under a second, but Heim’s long-run pace and clean exits hold firm.

Heim closes it out, with Smith second and Layne Riggs third after a disciplined closing stint.

The result frames the first playoff cut. Despite speed, Smith and Jake Garcia fall out of title contention as the field tightens.

TRICON Garage’s execution is decisive: controlled restarts, efficient stops, and a package that maintains balance over longer runs.

Heim’s season-long consistency places him among the sport’s elite, reinforcing his presence in discussions of top NASCAR drivers in 2025.

Loudon’s one‑mile layout emphasizes track position and tire discipline, further validating its place among the best racing tracks for racecraft and strategy.

With four races left, Heim targets sole ownership of the record amid a series gaining momentum on and off track, including the recent Prime Video–Coca‑Cola partnership.
