Corey Heim driving in 12 NASCAR Cup races with 23XI Racing, including Daytona 500 and Nashville

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Corey Heim will drive in 12 Cup Series races with 23XI Racing in 2026, including the Daytona 500 and the May 31 race at Nashville Superspeedway.

23XI announced Heim’s part-time Cup schedule on Feb. 6.

The 23-year-old is currently not scheduled to run a full schedule in any of the three national series in 2026 despite one of the most dominant seasons in Truck Series history last year.

Heim won 12 of 25 Truck Series races in 2025, claiming the Truck title with a victory in the championship race at Phoenix on Oct. 31, 2025.

One of NASCAR’s top young prospect drivers, Heim also ran four Cup Series races and three O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races last season.

Heim is currently under contract with 23XI Racing as the team’s development driver in a deal announced before last season.
