Corey Heim Wins Darlington Truck Race With Last-Lap Pass in Double OT, Claims $50,000 Bonus

A late call for slightly fresher scuffed tires set up Corey Heim’s decisive move at the end.

Overview

  • Crew chief Seth Smith brought Heim to pit road on lap 145 for a five-lap scuff set, leaving him with fresher tires than the leaders for the final restarts.
  • The 147-lap event extended to 157 after then-leader Carson Hocevar crashed and a subsequent multi-truck incident triggered a second overtime.
  • Ross Chastain took the white flag in front and finished second, with Christian Eckes third, polesitter Kaden Honeycutt fourth after leading 59 laps, and Connor Mosack fifth.
  • The win delivered the first Triple Truck Challenge $50,000 payout, and Heim said his entries for the next two bonus races at Rockingham and Bristol are not yet confirmed.
  • At Darlington, four truck chiefs were ejected after inspection failures and their teams lose pit selection for Rockingham, while Chandler Smith left with the series points lead.
