Corey Heim wins Richmond finale as NASCAR Truck Playoff field set: Corey Heim earned a NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series’ best seventh victory of the season in the eero 250 at Richmond (Va.) Raceway Friday night, but this first short track victory for the Regular Season Champion took a fast Toyota truck, some real perseverance and a bit of racing good fortune. The 23-year-old Georgia native started from pole position in the series’ regular season finale on the historic three-quarter mile venue, but he quickly had to deal with his front row starting mate, Ty Majeski who pressed him all night. Majeski swept both stage wins and his race best 143 of the 250 laps out front was more laps led than he turned in the entire season.(Read More)
