Corey Heim continues to prove he belongs among NASCAR’s rising stars, capturing the 2026 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for his second career NASCAR Cup Series victory. Just one month after breaking through with his first Cup win in San Diego, Heim added one of the sport’s most prestigious trophies to his growing résumé.
Driving the No. 67 Toyota, Heim delivered a calm and commanding performance, holding off Christopher Bell in the closing laps to secure the checkered flag. Winning at Indianapolis is a career-defining achievement, and Heim now has one of NASCAR’s crown jewel victories.
The victory is even more impressive considering Heim is not yet a full-time Cup Series driver for 23XI Racing. Despite running a limited schedule this season, he has already collected two victories, proving he is more than ready for NASCAR’s highest level. With Heim set to become a full-time driver for 23XI Racing next season, Sunday’s Brickyard 400 triumph serves as another reminder that one of the sport’s brightest young stars is only getting started.
Toyota’s dominance also continued at Indianapolis, with Heim showcasing the speed, consistency, and composure that have quickly made him one of the toughest drivers to beat. After earning his first Cup win in San Diego, Heim has now followed it with a Brickyard 400 victory, sending a clear message that he could quickly become a championship contender once he begins competing full-time.
