His breakout year now feeds into a 23XI development plan that includes unspecified Cup appearances next season.

Overview

  • Heim sealed the 2025 Craftsman Truck Series championship at Phoenix after leading 100 of 161 laps and surging from ninth to first on an overtime restart.
  • His season set single‑year series marks with 12 wins, 19 top‑five finishes, 1,625 laps led, and at least one lap led in every race.
