NASCAR penalizes Heim for Hocevar payback
Last Friday, Corey Heim, driving the No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota, was one of the contenders for the Truck Series title. In the race, Heim cleanly passed Carson Hocevar for position and took control of the championship, but Hocevar ran into the back of Heim, causing him to spin. Hocevar continued, but fell back in the field.
Later in the race, Heim intentionally turned up the track and crashed himself and Hocevar, as well as collecting another truck. This caused chaos and forced the race into overtime. Grant Enfinger, who was in the running for the title, lost out to Ben Rhodes in a race that went beyond the scheduled distance due to multiple accidents and restarts.
After the race, Heim denied intentionally wrecking Hocevar, but NASCAR reviewed radio transmissions and found that he violated conduct guidelines. As a result, Heim received a $12,500 fine and lost 25 driver points. This dropped him from third to fourth place in the final standings, behind Hocevar.
