Corey Heim just capped off one of the most dominant seasons in NASCAR Truck Series history, and it almost slipped away in the final laps at Phoenix. With 12 wins, 19 top fives, and a fifth-place average finish, his stats are absurd. But even with that, one late caution and a wild overtime restart nearly changed everything. NASCAR got the ending it needed — but barely.

  • Did the playoff format nearly ruin a perfect season?
  • Was Heim’s seven-wide move at Phoenix one of the greatest ever?
  • How close did Layne Riggs come to stealing the owners’ championship?
  • And where does Heim go next after this historic year?

This was a race that had it all — dominance, drama, and a sense of relief when the right driver finally got the trophy. Corey Heim and Tricon Garage just delivered a season for the record books, but it’s hard not to think how differently it could’ve ended. From controversy to pure elation, this was the perfect kickoff to championship weekend.
