Trust me, I know, you’re sitting there thinking to yourself… “Tom, the kid won a Truck title, he’s hardly run Xfinity and even fewer Cup starts. You’re on drugs.” But wait, I’ll explain exactly how I came to this conclusion. Corey Heim’s 2025 season will go down in history. Not just Craftsman Truck history, but NASCAR history overall.

The Conclusion

Let’s explain. Corey Heim’s 2025 Craftsman Truck Series Championship-winning season is THE most dominant season in ALL of NASCAR History. He won 12 times this season. 12… Times. But what makes that even more impressive is the fact that this isn’t a 36-race season like Cup, it’s not a 33-race season like Xfinity. The CTS races 25 times a year, which means he won 48% of all of the races in 2025. By comparison, in Greg Biffle’s record-breaking 1999 season, when he won 9 times, that was only 36% of the 25-race season.

Phoenix was his 23rd career victory, and that’s yet another record. At 22, Corey Heim was tied for 6th all-time with the Onion, Todd Bodine. But win 23 breaks that and cements him as the 6th winningest driver in the 31-year history of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

For the first time in NASCAR National Series history, a driver has led a lap in every single race of the season. Heim began that streak in February in Daytona and never looked back. In 100% of the races he ran, he led. How many laps? 1,627 to be exact. His passing of Mike Skinner’s 1,534 laps is, again, a new NASCAR CTS record.

Christopher Bell held the Truck Series record of Stage wins at a whopping 22. Until last night, when Corey Heim met, then exceeded that number at 23. Another record for Corey? 19 Top-5 finishes —that’s over three-quarters of the 2025 season, at 76%.

Pure… Unadulterated… Legendary… Dominance.
