Rumor Mill: Corey Heim Looks Unlikely to Have Full-Time Ride in 2026
What’s Happening? While Corey Heim continues to dominate the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the 22-year-old’s odd plans for next season are…
TRICON Garage has seemingly confirmed the long-rumored departure of Corey Heim in a new social media post.
Late Wednesday afternoon, in a post on social media, TRICON Garage posted a thank you to 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Champion Corey Heim.
Though this may be a surprise to some, the rumor mill has long suggested that Heim is expected to see some form of promotion in 2026.
Most rumors suggest that Heim will see some form of commitment start across the NASCAR Craftsman Truck, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and Cup Series. Nonetheless, as of press time, no such plans have been announced for the 23-year-old phenom.
In 2025, Heim won a record-breaking 12 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races, bringing his four-year career total to 23 wins in the series, en route to his first career Championship.
Despite his success, due to the packed NASCAR Cup Series roster at 23XI Racing, of which Heim is signed to a developmental deal, he has yet to see a full-time promotion in his young career. Nonetheless, most expect that he will find his way to full-time action in NASCAR’s highest division in the next two seasons.
Most have theorized that 2026 Craftsman Truck Series Championship Four contender Kaden Honeycutt, who finished out the season with Toyota following his abrupt departure from Niece Motorsports earlier this summer, of which the team claimed he signed with a new OEM and Team for 2026, will take over Heim’s now former ride in 2026.

On February 17, Ubisoft released a trailer that confirmed that NASCAR would be included in The Crew Motorfest’s next season update. Details were limited at the time, but in a press release issued today, Ubisoft revealed the full details of the update ahead of its March 4 launch.
Ubisoft says drafting will affect car speed and help save fuel, implying that drafting will be a huge factor in the game, at least with these cars. You can check out this and much more on Ubisoft’s official post linked below
Earlier this Tuesday, the official The Crew Motorfest account clarified confusion around the NASCAR bundles. The Crew Credit (CC) bundles only include cosmetic team liveries, not additional cars. The 3 base Next Gen cars (Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Toyota Camry XSE, and Chevrolet ZL1) are part of the free Season 9 update and can be purchased separately.
Mitch Rasmussen, NASCAR’s Senior Director of Interactive, said in the press release:
We’re excited to bring our iconic brand to life in The Crew Motorfest. This collaboration represents another important step in our strategy to bring NASCAR into the digital spaces and places where next generation fans spend their time, giving players new ways to interact with the culture and communities they love.
The content arrives as part of Year 3 Season 9 and is officially licensed by NASCAR. You can watch the first trailer and learn more in the article linked below

Four road courses on the schedule, and somehow that’s enough to spark one of the biggest debates in the garage. After recent comments from Brad Keselowski questioning the business value of road racing, the conversation has picked up serious steam. Is NASCAR leaning too far into it, or is the current balance about right?
There are valid points on both sides, from sponsorship realities to fan traditions to competitive diversity. Some tracks have gained traction. Others have struggled. The question isn’t just whether road courses belong, but how many make sense within a 36-race season. It’s less about extremes and more about direction. And with future schedule changes always looming, this debate probably isn’t settled anytime soon.
