Corey Heim will pursue his first Daytona 500 appearance in February by entering the event with 23XI Racing, driving the No. 67 Toyota. This Corey Heim Daytona 500 attempt comes after a standout year, as Heim recently secured the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship with 12 wins out of 25 races.
Rising Star Looks to Build on Championship Season
At 23 years old, Heim has made significant progress in his racing career. The Marietta native, who graduated from Kennesaw Mountain High School, is moving up to NASCAR’s biggest stage seeking another milestone on February 15. Last season‘s dominant performance in the Truck Series has positioned him as a promising competitor for the Daytona 500.

Strong Support From 23XI Racing and NASCAR Cup Experience
Heim became 23XI Racing’s first development driver with a multiyear deal signed last February. The racing team, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, provides a powerful platform for Heim’s entry into the Daytona 500. He already has experience in the NASCAR Cup Series, having competed in four races, including an impressive sixth-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 13.
Potential Impact on Heim’s Career
Securing a spot in the Daytona 500 would be a significant step for Heim, building on his championship momentum and giving him national exposure. Backed by a successful team and a strong track record, Heim’s attempt is closely watched by fans and industry insiders alike, as he continues developing his career at the highest levels of NASCAR.
