Corey Heim to miss NASCAR Truck race at Gateway

Corey Heim will miss the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race Saturday at World Wide Technology Raceway.

TRICON Garage said Friday he will sit out due to illness. Jesse Love will drive Heim’s No. 11 Safelite Toyota. Meanwhile, Toni Breidinger will drive the No. 1 Toyota, originally fielded for Love.

TRICON will apply for a playoff waiver for Heim. He has a win and is virtually locked into this year’s playoffs.
