Corey Heim Takes Brickyard 400 Victory in Dramatic Finish

A thrilling final restart sees Heim overtake Hamlin as Hamlin extends points lead

Corey Heim captured his second career victory at the Brickyard 400, sealing the win by passing Denny Hamlin on the final restart and then holding off Christopher Bell for the remainder of the race.

The dramatic finish featured Joey Logano, Chase Briscoe and Hamlin rounding out the top five, while earlier laps saw Kyle Larson’s race end abruptly on lap 44 due to a tire failure and Chase Elliott forced to the garage with the same issue.

Ty Gibbs led a substantial portion of the second stage before Ross Chastain claimed the stage win under caution, adding another strategic twist to the competition.

In the points standings, Denny Hamlin extended his lead to 84 points over Tyler Reddick, with Ryan Blaney moving into third place, followed by Ty Gibbs and Carson Hocevar.

What’s Next for the Cup Series?

The series now travels to Iowa Speedway on August 9, where another high‑stakes showdown will test the momentum built by the recent results.
