Busch lauded the young Corey Heim for his competitiveness on track. Although he faced issues with his own car, Rowdy encountered real challenges as he was uncertain of the optimal racing line. All this while Corey Heim was closing in on his rear bumper. But eventually, Busch dashed past to maintain a significant lead.

Busch said, “Corey kept us honest right there. He started to find that top over there and got some momentum over there with three to go. I chattered really bad, so my front just wasn‘t working over there.… He made it and got to my rear bumper getting into [turn] three and I just didn‘t know which way to go. So I ran the middle then to the bottom and then he slipped up top. And I guess we had enough of a gap after that.”

It is amazing how Corey Heim has made a place for himself at the age of 21. He has a long career ahead, and it seems like he’s going to have a successful one.
