RACE RECAP

Corey Heim surged from 7th on the grid to capture the Black's Tire 200 at Rockingham Speedway, methodically working through the field before taking control in the closing stages. The No. 1 led 178 laps on the day and scored 92.8 fantasy points.

Kaden Honeycutt (No. 11) finished second, while Layne Riggs (No. 34) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Corey Heim captured Stage 1 and Corey Heim won Stage 2. The race featured multiple lead changes among several drivers. The tight confines of this short track rewarded aggression and clean air, with tire management separating contenders from pretenders.

The biggest mover of the race was Corey LaJoie (No. 10), who charged from 23rd to 7th โ€” a gain of 16 positions that made the No. 10 one of the top fantasy value plays. Stewart Friesen also impressed, climbing from 19th to 4th.

The race wasn't without drama โ€” 2 drivers failed to finish. From a fantasy perspective, Corey Heim led all scorers with 92.8 points, followed by Kaden Honeycutt (51.1) and Layne Riggs (48).
