Corey Heim just keeps on winnin’. After leading a race-high 65 laps in Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Toyota 200 at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, Heim cruised to the win over points leader Christian Eckes by nearly two seconds.
Following the race, Heim’s race-winning No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota Tundra was subjected to post-race inspection, where the machine was given a passing grade. As a result, NASCAR declared Heim and his race team the official winners of the race.
With the win comes the $50,000 bonus from Craftsman as this race was the second of three events in the Triple Truck Challenge. The final race of The Trip will take place at Nashville Superspeedway in a couple of weeks.
The win at Gateway marks the fourth of the 2024 season for Heim, which surpasses his previous career best of three, which he set last season. The win at Gateway is the ninth of Heim’s career, and incredibly, Heim remained undefeated at Gateway.
Heim scored the win in this event in 2022, but missed last year’s race due to illness.
No issues were detected in post-race inspection, which means all results and standings following the race are now considered official.
The No. 11, 38, and 77 trucks will make a trip to the NASCAR R&D Center for further inspection.
Christian Eckes was the official runner-up finisher in the race, and he was followed by Nick Sanchez, Ty Majeski, Layne Riggs, Chase Purdy, Ben Rhodes, Stewart Friesen, Andres Perez de Lara, and Luke Fenhaus inside the top-10.
