Young NASCAR sensation, Corey Heim, is gearing up for an electrifying debut in the NASCAR Cup race at Richmond with 23XI Racing, sending shockwaves through the racing world. At just 23 years old, Heim has been dominating the NASCAR Truck Series, clinching a remarkable five victories in the first 16 races of the season and displaying sheer talent with ten top-five finishes and 12 top-ten finishes.
Hailed as one of the most promising drivers in NASCAR’s lower divisions, Heim has a stellar track record, reaching the Championship 4 in both 2023 and 2024 and securing an impressive 16 wins in the tertiary division. His exceptional performance has not gone unnoticed, leading to a groundbreaking multi-year deal as 23XI Racing’s inaugural development driver.
Heim, set to make his mark in the upcoming Richmond Raceway event, will be embarking on his sixth career start and his third of the 2025 season. The young prodigy will once again take the wheel of the No. 67 Toyota, proudly sponsored by the online trading platform Robinhood. Earlier this year, Heim made waves in the Cup Series with a remarkable 13th place finish at Kansas, outshining all of his 23XI teammates.
Despite his shining moments, Heim faced a setback at the Chicago Street Course after sustaining damage during his qualifying run, causing him to miss the race. Richmond Raceway presents a chance at redemption for Heim, marking his return to the Cup series after the unfortunate DNQ in Chicago.
While Heim may be new to the Cup scene at Richmond, he is no stranger to the track, having secured a commendable fourth-place finish in an Xfinity race last year driving for Sam Hunt Racing. With three Truck Series starts under his belt at the Virginia short track, Heim’s experience positions him as a formidable contender in the upcoming race.
23XI Racing, a powerhouse in the NASCAR realm, boasts a lineup of top-tier drivers including Tyler Reddick in the No. 45, the recent Brickyard 400 champion Bubba Wallace in the No. 23, and rookie sensation Riley Herbst in the No. 35. As Heim revs up for his momentous Cup debut at Richmond, all eyes are on this rising star, poised to shake up the racing world with his unparalleled talent and unwavering determination.
