Corey Heim’s Epic Journey: From Denny Hamlin’s Autograph to 23XI Racing Rising Star

NASCAR Cup Series driver Corey Heim drives during practice for the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn., Saturday, May 31, 2025.

Corey Heim’s Remarkable Journey from Fan to 23XI Racing Driver

From a wide-eyed fan collecting Denny Hamlin’s autograph to becoming a rising star in NASCAR, Corey Heim’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. The young driver’s passion for racing ignited at a young age, starting in Legends Cars and then dominating super late model events in prestigious series like the CARS Tour and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.

Heim’s dream of reaching the pinnacle of NASCAR began to take shape when he seized opportunities to showcase his talent in Next Gen cars. His skills and determination caught the eye of none other than Denny Hamlin, leading to a monumental signing with 23XI Racing in 2024 and 2025.

In a recent Cup Series race at Kansas, Heim impressed with a top-15 finish, marking a significant milestone in his budding career. It was a poetic moment as he achieved this feat driving for Hamlin’s team, the same driver whose autograph he cherished as a child.

Reflecting on his journey with Jeff Gluck, Heim fondly recalled his early encounters with racing, saying, “My family would go to the Fourth of July weekend at Daytona when I was growing up. It’s my birthday weekend, so it’s always a fun thing for me.” He vividly remembered his admiration for Denny Hamlin and the excitement of receiving a pre-signed rookie card from him, a memory that fueled his passion for racing.

Now, as 23XI Racing’s inaugural developmental driver, Heim is making waves in the Truck Series behind the wheel of the No. 11 Tundra for Tricon Garage. With an impressive track record including four wins this season and leading the championship battle, Heim’s talent and potential are undeniable.

Hamlin, speaking on his podcast Actions Detrimental, expressed his confidence in Heim’s abilities and the team’s commitment to nurturing his growth. “We’re excited to give him that opportunity. He deserves it. I’m glad that he chose 23XI,” Hamlin remarked, highlighting the mutual respect and belief in Heim’s promising future.

As Heim gears up for the upcoming Cup Series race at the Chicago Street Course, fans and critics alike are eagerly anticipating his next move in what promises to be a thrilling journey from fan to racing sensation.

In a sport where dreams are the fuel that drives success, Corey Heim’s story stands as a testament to unwavering dedication, raw talent, and the transformative power of chasing one’s passions. From collecting autographs to leaving his mark on the racetrack, Heim’s evolution into a formidable force in NASCAR is a narrative that captivates and inspires fans worldwide.
