Corey Heim has been the dominant force in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series this season.
With three victories already in hand, the driver of the No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota is the only multiple winner in the series so far this year.
Atop the standings by 64 points over second-place Chandler Smith, Heim also is the defending winner of Saturday’s Window World 250 at North Wilkesboro Speedway (1:30 p.m. ET on FS1, NRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
He’s the only driver to lead laps in every race this season, and he’s the only active North Wilkesboro winner entered in Saturday’s race.
Heim, however, will face a stern challenge from a driver doing double duty in both the Truck Series event and the NASCAR All-Star Race on Sunday.
Kyle Busch is making his second Truck Series start of the season, this time in the No. 07 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet. In February, Busch won at Atlanta in Spire’s No. 7 Silverado, extending his career record for victories in the series to 67.
“It’ll be my first time racing a truck at North Wilkesboro and my first time racing with (crew chief) Allen (Hart) and the No. 07 group, so practice will be important for us this week,” Busch said.
“The 07 team has shown good speed winning with (Kyle) Larson (at Homestead-Miami Speedway) and picking up a couple runner-up finishes in recent weeks, so hopefully we can continue the momentum they’ve been building and put our Gainbridge Silverado in Victory Lane this weekend.”
