Corey Heim


Q. Corey Heim has been giving so much praise to Gio Ruggiero tonight and how well he did out there. I know you were bummed over the radio after this race, but your team reminded you it was a great points day, and the future is ahead. How would you summarize it?

COREY HEIM: Yeah, no doubt. Nothing short of crazy there the last 20 laps. Honestly, pretty impressed with everyone that we kept it straight for as long as we did. They piled it up a little bit on the last lap. Compared to last year, it was such a big upgrade as far as the quality of racing.

Definitely was out of control there at the end, being three-wide middle and old tires, being free.

Yeah, like I said, hats off to Gio and Tanner. William was up there with us at the end, and everybody did a really good job at TRICON Garage. Toyota as well, our Tundra TRD Pro was good all night. I feel like we put ourselves in good position. Scott Zipadelli did a great job opening the box. We will take the Safelite Tundra to Atlanta and try to get one better.
