Corey Heim dominated the entire field on Friday, April 3rd at Rockingham Speedway, leading 178 of the race's 200 laps before securing his second win of the season. 

Heim, who won last weekend at Darlington Raceway and collected the series' first Triple Truck Challenge bonus paycheck, earned an additional $150,000 with his win at Rockingham. 

Yeah, it means a lot,” Heim said of the potential payday. “I don‘t really think about it in the truck, but being able to reflect on it, it would be cool to be the first person to sweep all three if we are able to do it.

“There is a lot of motivation for these guys in the 1 camp with (sponsor) Celsius as our primary next week, so super excited about that.”

Heim held off his teammate Kaden Honeycutt by a 0.090-second margin. It is the 25th win of Heim’s Craftsman Truck Series career.  

Layne Riggs finished third, Chandler Smith in fourth, while Stewart Friesen rounded out the top-five finishers. 

Grant Enfinger finished sixth, Tyler Ankrum came in seventh, with Corey LaJoie, Ty Majeski, and  Jake Garcia ending up eighth through 10th place, respectively.
