Heim Wins Truck Race at TMS in overtime

FORT WORTH, TX - RIS - In a race that featured 11 caution flags and two overtime restarts, Corey Heim fended off Daniel Hemric and Ben Rhodes to earn his third win of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season.
Heim dominated the race, but a plethora of late cautions put his lead in jeopardy multiple times. When the field took the white flag, Heim was in the middle of a three-wide battle with Hemric and Rhodes.
In the middle of turn 2, however, Heim cleared Hemric and drove off, winning for the 14th time in his Truck Series career. The win is Heim's first at Texas, a track where he has yet to finish outside of the top-10 in four starts.
