During the ARCA race at the Kansas Speedway, Drew Dollar earned the wrath of championship leader Corey Heim. While the duo were battling for the race lead, they took each other out of the race. Naturally, Heim’s crew chief Billy Venturini was not impressed with the Kyle Busch Motorsports driver’s antics.

He fumed, “I mean, I know what David Gilliland feels. Drew wrecks all your sh*t when he’s driving for you. Then he wrecks it all when he’s racing against you. So I can understand why he punched him in the eye over at Bristol last year. Just typical bonehead move by Drew. H*ll! He’s killed couple of my cars here, and now he’s killed one, and he wasn’t even driving for it. Look at it, he’s just pure lack of talent. Great kid, does not need to be a race car driver. He’s got a lot of other things he’ll probably do to make a good living.”

What happened to the Kyle Busch Motorsports driver and Corey Heim?

The accident occurred after the restart when the duo went wheel to wheel. Then, heading into the corner, Dollar lost the rear end of his car and crowded the #20 driver into the wall. Needless to say, the only one who was not complaining, was Nick Sanchez, who snatched the lead and the win. Now, all that Heim and Dollar can do is rue what could have been and focus on the next race of the campaign.

Admittedly, this is not the first time that the Kyle Busch Motorsports driver has annoyed a fellow driver. Back in February, Jeremy Clements ranted at the driver’s sheer idiocy and dubbed him a ‘pay driver’. Another driver who would definitely not exchange Christmas card with him, is Hailie Deegan. Both she and Dollar collided with each other several times in the past, with him being the aggressor.
