Corey Heim Wins Rockingham, Claims Triple Truck Challenge Bonus
Corey Heim dominated the NASCAR Truck Series at Rockingham Speedway, winning yesterday's race and securing the Triple Truck Challenge Bonus. Second consecutive win for the ThorSport Racing driver.
π Corey Heim Dominates Rockingham β Second Consecutive Win
Corey Heim won again. The ThorSport Racing driver took yesterday's (April 3) NASCAR Truck Series race at Rockingham Speedway in North Carolina, completing a dominant streak over the last two weeks.
But this win has an extra prize: Heim claimed the Triple Truck Challenge Bonus, a special NASCAR award for drivers who win multiple consecutive races at specific tracks.
π Race Numbers
- Winner: Corey Heim (#11 ThorSport Racing Toyota Tundra)
- Pole position: Corey Day (first career pole in NASCAR O'Reilly Series)
- Track: Rockingham Speedway, North Carolina
- Date: April 3, 2026
- Series: NASCAR Truck Series (also called NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series)
Rockingham is a historic track that recently returned to the NASCAR calendar after years away. It's a classic 1-mile oval with moderate banking β technical and demanding on tires.
π Triple Truck Challenge: The Special Bonus
The Triple Truck Challenge is a NASCAR incentive to generate more excitement in Truck Series races. If a driver wins three specific races in a season (usually at short tracks or historic venues), they earn a significant cash bonus in addition to points.
Heim completed the challenge with this Rockingham win, adding to his previous victories at Martinsville and another track on the circuit.
πͺ Corey Heim: The Champion in Development
Heim is only 22 years old and is already considered one of NASCAR's top prospects. He won the ARCA Menards Series championship two seasons ago and is now fighting for the Truck Series title with ThorSport Racing.
His driving style is aggressive but calculated β he knows when to attack and when to save the truck for the finish.
π§ Lessons For Truckers: Preventive Maintenance Wins Races
NASCAR is the perfect example of why preventive maintenance matters. NASCAR teams inspect every component of the truck before, during, and after every race. Nothing is left to chance.
You're not racing at Rockingham, but your truck works just as hard every day. At The Truck Savers we offer a free road simulator inspection that detects problems in suspension, steering, and brakes before they leave you stranded on the highway.
And if your tires wear unevenly (like NASCAR trucks after 200 laps), you probably need an alignment. Stop by and we'll check everything β free.
π Next NASCAR Truck Race
The NASCAR Truck Series returns next weekend to Bristol Motor Speedway, one of the fastest and most aggressive tracks on the calendar. Corey Heim will look to extend his winning streak.
