Corey Heim Outlasts Mother Nature to Win Las Vegas Trucks

LAS VEGAS, NV – RIS – With rain and heavy winds causing two red flags and more rain, Corey Heim dominated late in winning the NASCAR Craftsman truck race at Las Vegsd Motor Speedway.

The yellow flags caused pauses of more than75 minutes before the race ending and Heim collecting the win.

Heim suffered through a pit road speeding penalty, won the Ecosave 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

“Our pit crew did such a good job getting us back out in front after I made that mistake in Stage 1 where I sped on pit road,” Heim said in his postrace interview with FS1. “This wasn’t exactly what we wanted as far as the weather being cold. I feel like we do a lot better when it’s hot, but it paid off.”

Heim held off a late charge from Grant Enfinger and pressure from teammate Tanner Gray in the final green-flag run to secure the win. Enfinger finished second, 0.825 seconds behind Heim, and Gray was third (2.146 seconds).

“I had to do everything I could there,” said Heim, who started 16th and led a race-high 42 laps. “I was completely wide open at the end, and I did all I could driving out my (rearview mirror).”

Heim won the season opener at Daytona on Feb. 14 after Parker Kligerman was disqualified following postrace inspection.

It’s Heim’s 13th career win in the Truck Series. The 22-year-old from Marietta, Georgia, recently signed a deal to be a developmental driver for Cup Series team 23XI Racing, co-owned by legendary NBA player Michael Jordan.
