Corey Heim ran the table in 2025, but if you pull him out of the picture, the entire Truck Series takes on a wild new shape. Suddenly, we get surprise winners, chaotic playoff swings, and a title fight that comes down to one late restart. And without Heim vacuuming up wins, a few names jump to the surface in ways you probably didn’t expect.

• Which rookie immediately becomes a two-time winner and sneaks his way deep into the playoffs?
• How does Daniel Hemric, of all people, end up as the year’s only four-time winner?
• Why Layne Riggs turns into the heartbreak story of the season, missing the title by just a couple laps?
• How Ty Majeski uses late-race chaos and a perfect call to clinch a second straight championship?

When you strip Heim out of the field, the season suddenly looks tighter, scrappier, and a whole lot more unpredictable. Rookie standout Gio Ruggiero turns into a legitimate factor, Hemric’s quiet consistency turns into real momentum, and Majeski still finds a way to rise when it matters most. And for Riggs, this alternate universe ends up feeling eerily similar to a familiar Cup-Series heartbreak we all know too well.
