You Guys Love Talking About a Guy Who Finished Ninth": Corey Heim Trolls Carson Hocevar After Brickyard 400 Triumph

Corey Heim didn’t just win the Brickyard 400—he also fed an expanding on-track rivalry with Carson Hocevar. After the race, Heim mocked the media focus on Hocevar “who finished ninth,” explaining he simply tried to keep position, letting Denny Hamlin pass after Heim’s pit cycle. The pair’s history dates back to 2023 in the Truck Series, when an encounter between them ended Hocevar’s title hopes. Sunday’s flashpoint came on Lap 91: Heim moved ahead to pit, Hocevar drifted to the apron, and Hocevar appeared to flip him off from his window. Heim prevailed in 15th Cup start; Hocevar finished ninth.
