Corey Heim Wins Phoenix Finale in Double Overtime to Clinch 2025 Truck Series Championship

He sealed the winner-take-all crown with a four-tire call on a decisive late restart.

Overview

  • Heim swept both stages, led 100 of 161 laps and took the checkered flag by 0.993 seconds in a second overtime at Phoenix Raceway.
  • The Championship 4 finished with Heim first, defending champ Ty Majeski second and Kaden Honeycutt third, while Tyler Ankrum placed 14th after late contact in overtime.
  • A Lap 150 caution triggered split strategies, with Heim taking four fresh tires against two for rivals, then charging from 10th with a seven‑wide move before passing Majeski on the final restart.
  • The title caps a record season for Heim that included 12 wins, laps led in every race and a Truck Series single‑season mark of 1,625 laps led.
  • Front Row Motorsports swept qualifying’s front row with Layne Riggs on pole, though an illegal panel penalty sent him to the rear with a drive‑through; Riggs recovered to finish fourth.
