Corey Heim Wins Double-Overtime Thriller to Clinch 2025 NASCAR Truck Championship

Heim capped a record-setting season by converting four fresh tires on a double-overtime restart into his first series crown.

Overview

  • Corey Heim swept the first two stages, led 100 of 161 laps and edged defending champion Ty Majeski by 0.993 seconds to win at Phoenix and secure the title.
  • A late caution from Connor Mosack triggered overtime, and Heim’s four-tire call enabled a daring seven-wide move on the first restart before he cleared Majeski after a second attempt.
  • The Championship 4 finished Heim first, Majeski second and Kaden Honeycutt third, while Tyler Ankrum dropped to 14th after being caught in an overtime crash.
  • Heim finished 2025 with 12 victories and single-season Truck Series records for laps led, stage wins and points, and he led at least one lap in all 25 races.
  • The focus now shifts to Sunday’s Cup Series finale at Phoenix with Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, William Byron and Kyle Larson, as NASCAR plans to return the championship weekend to Homestead-Miami in 2026.
