Heim’s Darlington last‑lap
Corey Heim stole the Truck Series win at Darlington with a last‑lap pass on Ross Chastain in overtime — the spring race went 157 laps and turned into a dramatic finish on March 20 (nascar.com). Local coverage called it a ‘stunning last‑lap move’ that cements Heim as one to watch in the early 2026 season (tennessean.com).
Heim did the drive in the No. 5 TRICON Garage Toyota on a part‑time slate and the finish also earned him the $50,000 Triple Truck Challenge bonus. (nascar.com) The team brought the truck to pit road on Lap 145 for scuffed tires that were five laps fresher than the leaders' tires. (nascar.com) Heim restarted 15th on the first overtime attempt, then climbed to ninth for the final restart after a caution that collected Jake Garcia, Tyler Ankrum, Corey LaJoie and Stewart Friesen. (nascar.com) Heim led three separate times for a total of 28 laps in the event, marking his 24th Truck Series victory in 91 career starts. (nascar.com) Ross Chastain paced much of the night with 35 laps led and controlled both overtime restarts, while Kaden Honeycutt logged a race‑high 59 laps in front. (nascar.com) Official race results list Heim as having started fifth and earning 70 points with 15 bonus points for the event. (espn.com) Because the win completed the first leg of The Trip, Heim would be eligible for a $150,000 bonus if he wins again during the Triple Truck Challenge at Rockingham on April 3. (nascar.com)
