Corey Heim won the Toyota 200 at World Wide Technology Raceway. This is his ninth victory in 53 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races. This is his fourth victory and 10th top-10 finish in 2024.
“Total team effort today,” said Heim. “We struggled a bit yesterday and worked a bit overnight on it. I have to say the pit crew redeemed themselves. Last week we could have won that race.”
Last week, Heim’s truck was disqualified at Charlotte for 3 lug nuts ruled unsecure.
Ty Majeski, the polesitter, dominated and swept the first two stages and led 43 laps of the race. But it was Heim who dominated the last stage. Heim led the race for 65 laps. During a long green flag stretch, Heim brought his car in early for a pit stop and that allowed him to get great track position. He then held on to the lead after a restart on lap 138 and never looked back.
“Corey was a little bit better, and I knew it,” said Ty Majeski
For the 21 year old Heim, this is his second victory and second top-10 finish in two races at World Wide Technology Raceway. His crew chief is Scott Zipadelli.
Christian Eckes (second) posted his third top-10 finish in seven races at World Wide Technology Raceway. It is his 11th top-10 finish in 2024.
Nick Sanchez (third) posted his second top-10 finish in two races at World Wide Technology Raceway.
Layne Riggs (fifth) was the highest finishing rookie.
Christian Eckes leads the point standings by 31 points over Corey Heim.
