Corey Heim captured his second NASCAR Cup Series victory at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26, 2026, edging out Christopher Bell by a razor‑thin margin of .0287 seconds.
A Narrow Victory
He held off Joey Logano in the closing laps, a performance that highlighted the 24‑year‑old’s growing confidence on superspeedways.
The win comes just weeks after his earlier triumph at San Diego’s Naval Base Coronado, underscoring a rapid ascent for the part‑time driver.
Team owners Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, who run 23XI Racing, announced that Heim will step into a full‑time seat for the 2027 season, rewarding his consistent performances.
The podium also featured Bell in second and Logano in third, while manufacturers Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet continued to battle for dominance across the series.
