Corey Heim won Friday evening’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway after leading a race-high 55 laps.
It’s the fifth victory of the season for Heim, who swept both stages as well around the 2.5-mile triangular Pennsylvania track.
During the final stage, pit stops and other problems shuffled the field. That allowed Grant Enfinger to be the biggest benefactor in the final 30 laps, making his way to a runner-up result that matches his best performance of 2024. Christian Eckes, Taylor Gray and Ross Chastain completed the top five. Chase Purdy, Stewart Friesen, Matt Crafton, Dean Thompson and Rajah Caruth rounded out the top 10.
The next truck series is next with a trip on Friday night to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
