Corey Heim stamped his name on NASCAR history by taking two Cup victories in just 15 races, a first since A.J. Foyt in 1965.
First‑part‑timer to win two Cup races in one season
Heim, piloting 23XI Racing’s No. 67 Toyota, has already started only eight of the first 22 Cup events. Winning twice before the season ends is a feat last seen with Tim Richmond in 1987, who matched the record in eight starts.
Brickyard 400 at 23 years and 2 days old
The 24‑year‑old captured the Indianapolis classic shortly after his birthday, becoming the youngest winner since Jeff Gordon’s 1994 triumph.
Dominating Toyota front‑court rivals
He roared past Tyler Reddick in San Diego, reclaimed the lead from Joey Hamlin on the Brickyard final restart, and then finished ahead of Bubba Bell to seal the win.
Leading 139 laps in eight starts
Completing 14th overall in hard‑away laps, Heim’s command of the rubber matches that of seasoned Cup regulars.
Remaining roadmap
The driver has four races left: Daytona (Aug 29), Southern 500 at Darlington (Sep 6), the Charlotte fall oval (Oct 11), and Homestead‑Miami (Nov 8). His current pace keeps the 2026 championship within reach.
