Corey Heim enters the 2026 NASCAR season with more questions than answers. After putting up a historic season in the NASCAR Truck Series, Heim is left without a full-time ride in all three levels of stock car racing. The 23XI Racing driver figures to focus most of his time on the NASCAR Cup Series.

Heim's biggest goal is racing full-time in the Cup Series, so it will be important for him to focus his attention on the top level. The former driver of the No. 11 truck for TRICON Garage is good enough to be a winner in the Cup Series, and 23XI Racing is aware of that fact.

Heim is one of NASCAR's best prospects, but running a part-time schedule is hard for any driver. If Heim wants to continue his development, he must find a way to focus on the main goals when he is racing. Heim might have to wait one more year, but this season will be tough on the young driver.
