A Dramatic Finish in Michigan
Corey Heim captured his third victory of the 2026 NASCAR Truck Series season at Michigan International Speedway in June, holding off a fierce challenge from Kaden Honeycutt on the final lap.
The race unfolded with Christopher Bell dominating the first two stages, only to see his lead slip away during a chaotic restart that favored Heim’s strategic line.
Honeycutt, who had taken over the No. 11 truck after the 2025 campaign, pushed hard but could not overtake Heim before the checkered flag.
The win marks a pivotal moment for Heim, who is slated to compete full‑time in the NASCAR Cup Series next year with 23XI Racing, the organization co‑owned by basketball star Ty Gibbs.
For TRICON Garage, the triumph underscores the team’s growing competitiveness and adds momentum as the series heads into its mid‑season stretch.
The Michigan event also highlighted the depth of talent in the Truck field, with veterans like Ross Chastain and emerging names such as Carson Hocevar battling throughout the lineup.
