RACE RECAP

Corey Heim delivered a commanding performance in the eero 250 at Richmond Raceway, converting a 1st-place starting position into a trip to victory lane. The No. 11 led 75 laps on the day and scored 78.5 fantasy points. The margin of victory was 0.923.

Ty Majeski (No. 98) finished second, while Layne Riggs (No. 34) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Ty Majeski captured Stage 1 and Ty Majeski won Stage 2. The race featured 13 lead changes among 4 drivers โ€” Ty Majeski led a race-high 143 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. Bumpers were tools, not decoration, on this demanding short track where every inch of real estate was contested.

The biggest mover of the race was Giovanni Ruggiero (No. 17), who charged from 35th to 6th โ€” a gain of 29 positions that made the No. 17 one of the top fantasy value plays. Corey LaJoie also impressed, climbing from 26th to 5th.

The race wasn't without drama โ€” 2 drivers failed to finish. From a fantasy perspective, Corey Heim led all scorers with 78.5 points, followed by Ty Majeski (69.3) and Layne Riggs (44).
