Heim drove the No. 5 TRICON Garage Toyota on a part‑time basis and picked up his second straight Darlington victory. (nascar.com)) He pitted on Lap 145 with three laps left in regulation for scuffed tires that were five laps fresher than his rivals, a call that set up his late charge after multiple overtime restarts. (nascar.com)) Heim led three different times for a race total of 28 laps and recorded the 24th win of his 91 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts. (nascar.com)) The race ran 157 laps with an average speed of 97.012 mph, a total time of 2:12:39, nine cautions for 47 laps and 14 lead changes among eight drivers. (wtop.com)) Kaden Honeycutt paced the field with a race‑high 59 laps led, Ross Chastain led 35 laps and Carson Hocevar had a 16‑lap stint at the front before the overtimes. (wtop.com)) Heim’s victory also earned him the $50,000 Triple Truck Challenge payout and left him eligible for a $150,000 bonus if he wins again at Rockingham on April 3 while he continues a mixed schedule of Truck, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Cup races.
