Seventeen days ago, Corey Heim came up short against Kyle Busch.
A lot has happened in the time since Heim and the NASCAR Truck Series last competed at Texas Motor Speedway on April 12.
Heim, who trails circuit leader Christian Eckes by two points, competed in his first Cup Series event Sunday, earning a P25 at Dover Motor Speedway after quialifying No. 32.
Heim endured a pit altercation with Tyler Reddick, which ended up costing him two laps and about 10 finishing spots.
“That’s part racing,” Heim said, as reported by Frontstretch.com
Heim was subbing for injured Erik Jones in the No. 43 Toyota. Entering the weekend, Heim had never previously piloted a Next Gen machine.
“I felt really emotional,” Heim said. “I feel like I’ve worked so hard for this moment. To finish where I ended up is unfortunate. I feel like I worked my butt off to be there. It’s a really cool moment for me.”
With Legacy Motor Club announcing the decision to sub for Jones will be decided week-to-week, Heim returns to the Truck Series this weekend at Kansas Speedway. He has posted top-10 finishes in all seven of the series’ outings this season, including one win and five top-fives.
