Corey Heim joined the exclusive company of Greg Biffle today by securing his ninth win of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, putting him alongside Biffle for the most victories in a single season. Heim’s remarkable achievement drew immediate praise, with Biffle personally welcoming him to this rare “9-win club” as the motorsports community watches to see if Heim will set a new record in the races ahead.
Heim’s Dominant Season Reaches Historic Heights
This year, Corey Heim NASCAR Truck Series performances have surpassed expectations, as he tied Biffle’s long-standing mark from 1999. For 26 years, no driver accomplished what Heim has now matched, underscoring just how rare and impressive his campaign has been. From the start of the season through a particularly outstanding stretch in the past month, Heim’s skill behind the wheel has turned heads throughout NASCAR circles.
Greg Biffle, widely considered a legend in NASCAR, set the original benchmark and today expressed support for Heim’s accomplishment from a tropical locale, celebrating the young driver’s victory at New Hampshire.

Young Talent on the Edge of Greatness
Heim, just 23 years old, has drawn comparisons to drivers who made swift leaps from Truck and Xfinity Series to Cup competition, reinforcing the sense that his path to the top is inevitable. Observers note his advanced comfort level in a Cup Series car, a quality not often seen in drivers so early in their careers. His knack for adapting quickly to higher-level machines highlights his status as a standout prospect for NASCAR’s premier division.
Despite his impressive performances, Heim faces obstacles common among emerging talents, including a reliance on team-linked sponsorships rather than substantial backing of his own. This financial reality may delay a full transition to the Cup Series until at least 2027, but few question his readiness or the interest he’s attracting from teams and sponsors alike. Industry insiders widely agree Heim’s ascent is only a matter of time given his skill and results.
Biffle Relates to Heim’s Journey
Greg Biffle’s career provides a meaningful parallel for Heim’s journey. Biffle was a star through his time in the Truck and Xfinity Series, accumulating loyal fans and transitioning into the Cup Series where he also found success. Notably, Biffle was 30 during his nine-win season, while Heim’s comparable achievement at 23 emphasizes the latter’s potential for even greater heights in the years ahead.
Heim’s success isn’t merely statistical; it’s the culmination of talent and opportunity aligning at the right moment, reminiscent of Biffle’s climb. Watching Heim match the record once thought almost untouchable is a clear signal to fans, teams, and sponsors that a new era of driving excellence may be underway in American motorsports.
What’s Next for Corey Heim?
With four races remaining in the Truck Series, all eyes are on whether Corey Heim will surpass Greg Biffle’s nine-win record — a milestone that earlier seemed nearly unreachable. The NASCAR world anticipates every move Heim and his team make as they pursue history. Regardless of whether he breaks Biffle’s record this season or not, Heim’s rise has already left an indelible mark on the series and set up high expectations for his eventual debut as a regular contender in the Cup Series. The combination of his on-track results and the respect of legends like Biffle cements his place as one of the most exciting talents in racing today.
