Heim Dominates Truck Race at New Hampshire as Playoff Picture Shifts

Corey Heim continued his remarkable season by securing another victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, sweeping both stages and taking the checkered flag. This win puts Heim in position to tie the NASCAR Truck Series season win record, demonstrating his dominance throughout the 2025 campaign ^[1].

The Truck Series playoffs saw a major shake-up with the surprising elimination of third-seeded Chandler Smith, marking the first significant upset of the postseason ^[2]. Adding to the weekend's drama, young driver Jayson Alexander, piloting the No. 02 Young's Motorsports Chevrolet, experienced an emotional moment following an awkward crash during Saturday's race ^[3].

The Cup Series playoff picture remains intriguing as the competition moves through the Round of 12 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This follows an unpredictable Bristol Night Race that saw four drivers eliminated and featured the notorious 'chaos tire' ^[4].

Off the track, significant organizational changes occurred as RFK Racing appointed Chip Bowers as their new team president, overseeing operations for their three full-time Cup teams ^[5]. Additionally, Legacy Motor Club and Rick Ware Racing reached a settlement in their charter dispute, bringing resolution to a significant business matter in the sport ^[6].
