Are we even surprised at this point?

Corey Heim went to Victory Lane in Friday’s EcoSave 250, the inaugural event for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. The triumph marks the 10th win of the season for Heim, setting a single-season record in the NASCAR Truck Series.

Despite starting on the pole, Heim wasn’t the dominant truck of the afternoon, though, that title belonged to his TRICON Garage teammate Brent Crews, who led a race-high 56 of 70 laps, but came up one spot short of the victory after crew chief Jacob Hampton called him to pit road during the final caution of the afternoon to fix a fuel pickup issue.

Scott Zipadelli, crew chief for Heim’s No. 11 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, would ultimately call the race-winning strategy by leaving the TRICON Garage driver on the racetrack to hold the race lead, as the field went into NASCAR Overtime.

With the chaos that occurred during the final two-lap shootout, Heim was able to hold the field behind him beating Brent Crews (his 17-year-old teammate) back to the start-finish line by 1.338 seconds, collecting his 21st win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Brent Crews and Gio Ruggiero finished second and third, collecting the first 1-2-3 sweep for TRICON Garage. The organization joins ThorSport Racing and Kyle Busch Motorsports as the only teams to accomplish that in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Rajah Caruth had a fantastic rally in the late stages of Friday’s event to finish in fourth-place, with Spire Motorsports teammate and NASCAR Xfinity Series regular Connor Zilisch rounding out the top-five in the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado RST.

Josh Bilicki collected an impressive sixth-place result, while post-season drivers Grant Enfinger, Ty Majeski, and Tyler Ankrum finished seventh through ninth. Connor Mosack rounded out the top-10 after restarting on the front row in NASCAR Overtime.

Other drivers in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs that failed to score top-10 finishes include Kaden Honeycutt in 14th, who got spun on the final lap of the event by Grant Enfinger while battling for a spot just outside the top-five.

Layne Riggs was in position to get a solid finish by staying out on the final restart, but dropped dramatically when the green flag came out, finishing a disappointing 21st.
