Corey Heim, the 21-year-old reserve driver for 23XI Racing, owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, is set to compete in the team’s third part-time entry.

He is working hard to be prepared for the race in Nashville and is eager to get on the track with the No. 50 Mobil 1 Toyota team.
After replacing Erik Jones in the No. 43 car for races at Dover and Kansas, Heim proved his talent by finishing both races on the lead lap, with a 22nd-place finish at Kansas.

This year, racing for Tricon Garage, he has secured two wins and finished all eight races inside the top 10. With such a strong track record and promising performances, Heim is expected to be in the running for a full-time Cup Series seat as early as 2025. As he continues to showcase his skills and potential on the track, many believe that Heim’s future in Nascar is bright and filled with opportunities for success and growth.
The partnership between Heim, Mobil 1, and 23XI Racing highlights the collaborative efforts between sponsors, teams, and drivers in the Nascar Cup Series.
