Heim wins at Darlington

Corey Heim claimed the NASCAR Truck Series victory at Darlington on March 20 — a high‑profile win that’s reignited talk about a potential full‑time Cup seat for him (tennessean.com). The Trucks returned after a three‑week break and Heim’s performance has teams and pundits pencilling him as a Cup candidate (tennessean.com).

Corey Heim sliced past Ross Chastain in Turns 3–4 on the final lap after a green‑white‑checkered finish and collected a $50,000 Triple Truck Challenge bonus for the victory. (nascar.com)) The Buckle Up South Carolina 200 was pushed into double overtime and ran 157 laps after being scheduled for 147 laps. (en.wikipedia.org)) Heim stopped on Lap 145 for scuffed tires that were five laps fresher than his rivals, restarted 15th on the first overtime attempt and moved from ninth on the final restart to win; the result was his 24th Truck Series victory in 91 starts. (darlingtonraceway.com)) Ross Chastain finished second, Christian Eckes third and Kaden Honeycutt—who won Stage 2 and had scored the race pole—slipped to fourth after leading a race‑high 59 laps. (darlingtonraceway.com)) Series leader Chandler Smith ran 17th at Darlington but retained a 33‑point advantage over Kaden Honeycutt in the standings after the race. (speedwaymedia.com)) Heim is running a part‑time, mixed schedule this season across Truck, O’Reilly Auto Parts and select Cup events after stepping away from a full‑time ride at TRICON Garage in the offseason. (darlingtonraceway.com)) Because the win was part of the Triple Truck Challenge, Heim would be eligible for a $100,000 prize if he wins again on April 3 at Rockingham Speedway.
