“That was a damn handful,” Heim said. “I was hanging on for dear life once the shade went down and the pace picked up. My car got really loose, and I never really be in a lot of clean air throughout the day. So that was the hardest I’ve ever fought in my life just to make sure I focused on exits and keep him in dirty air. That was a workout. This is a dream come true. Winning at the Brickyard, that is unbelievable. Thank you so much, fans, for coming out here. That was awesome. Oh my gosh. I had a break early with the pit cycle and just executed. Made not mistakes all day, my pit crew and my team 23XI did a fantastic job with my Camry.”
“I just had to be aggressive (on the restart). It’s for the win. I’d have to see it back to see if I really did anything wrong, but I think we both know we’re racing for the win. I think he has every right to be a little frustrated with me. But I think he would have done the same thing. Just had to be on top of it. Got a good push from (Joey Logano) to be next to him and just, man. It’s crazy.”
Heim isn’t full-time in NASCAR during the 2026 season, but he is proving why he will be with 23XI Racing in 2027. The driver of the No. 67 car has been very impressive, and winning the Brickyard 400 is another huge milestone. Heim is a Crown Jewel winner, and no one will be able to take away that title.
