Corey Heim will run 12 NASCAR Cup Series events for 23XI Racing in 2026
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Corey Heim will run 12 NASCAR Cup Series races for 23XI Racing in 2026, beginning with the Daytona 500. Veteran crew chief Bootie Barker will be atop the box for the No. 67 entry as well.
Heim continues his part-time role in 23XI’s fourth open entry for a second straight season. He will make eight additional starts this year than in 2025.
Those limited starts this season fall short of what the 2025 Truck Series champion hoped for after graduating from the series last fall.
Currently, Corey Heim is without a full-time ride in any of NASCAR’s top three divisions and looks to make select starts where he can.
The highly touted prospect aims to build on his 2025 Cup Series average finish of 24.5 and top his career-best 13th-place run at Kansas in May to bolster his push toward a full-time Cup Series seat in 2027.
The full rundown of his 2026 Cup Series schedule is below.
