What’s Happening?
23XI Racing prospect Corey Heim is slated to enter 12 races for the team in a fourth car throughout the 2026 season, expanding his 2025 schedule by eight races.
- Last season, the 23-year-old made four starts in the No. 67 for 23XI, and with improvement over 2024, he will add even more this year, including some key races. In 2026, Heim will race in the part-time car for 23XI in 12 total races, including all four crown jewel races and the season finale.
- Heim, the reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, entered the offseason knowing one thing: that he would not be full-time in the Truck Series in 2026. Though has yet to announce concrete plans, most expected Heim to split his schedule across the three National Series, with an expanded Cup Schedule.
- Last season, with TRICON Garage, Heim netted 12 wins and the title, alongside a best Cup Series finish of sixth at Bristol. Despite historical dominance in the Truck Series over the past three seasons, Heim has struggled to score a full-time ride at the next level, though rumors suggest he is due for a full-time 23XI ride sooner rather than later.
- This offseason is a big one for 23XI, while most suspected that driver Riley Herbst was on a contract year, a recent report from Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports revealed that star driver Tyler Reddick is also facing the end of his contract. Either way the offseason shakes out, most hope Heim will score a full-time Cup Series ride in 2026, if not 2027.
