It was Heim Time times 10 in Charlotte on Friday night as Corey Heim picked up his 10th win of the season to set an all-time record for the NASCAR Truck Series.
Heim tied Gregg Biffle with nine the last time out with a dominating win at New Hampshire, but things weren’t as easy this time around.
Tricon Garage driver Heim started the Charlotte Roval race on pole, but got shoved into the Turn 1 wall by Grant Enfinger and had to rejoin the race with a damaged truck from the rear.
Kaden Honeycutt won the first two stages, while Brent Crews led 56 of 70 laps as Heim worked his way through the field and up into second when a yellow flag came out with three laps to go.

Crews had to pit and restart in seventh, while Heim stayed out and drove away from the pack to win by more than two seconds, with Crews recovering for second.
“It was not easy today, I think it was probably the toughest one of the year so far,” Heim said after the race. “Just shows the resilience of this Tricon team. They fixed it up so good for me after that incident on the first lap, just kind of out of our control. I thought we were done, honestly. The right front completely folded when it hit the wall over there.”

The win secured points-leader Heim a spot in the Championship 4 with two races left in the Round of 8 at Talladega and Martinsville.
Tyler Ankrum (+2), Daniel Hemric (+2) and Rajah Caruth (+1) remain above the cutline with Layne Riggs (-1), Ty Majeski (+2), Enfinger (+4) and Honeycutt (+4) below it.
