Corey Heim already has two wins as a NASCAR Cup Series driver, wheeling the part-time No. 67 23XI Racing Toyota to victories in San Diego and the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis.
However, NASCAR says that Heim will not be eligible to compete for Rookie of the Year honors in 2027 as he embarks on his first full-time season. He is also not eligible this year either as he didn't declare for Cup points. In the owner standings, that No. 67 entry is actually within 20 points of line 2026's only ROTY candidate, Connor Zilisch, despite running only a third of the schedule at this point.
