23XI Racing Confirms New Cup Series Driver for 2027
The wait is over. NASCAR fans are going to see Corey Heim suit up for 23XI Racing for the full 2027 season in the Cup Series. It has been a long road for Heim, but it is about to pay off. He is likely the most Cup ready driver not already in the series full-time.
Riley Herbst is on the way out and Corey Heim is on the way in. There has been rumor and speculation about where Herbst will end up, but we know it won't be at 23XI Racing for 2027.
23XI Racing made the announcement official on Saturday. Heim is scheduled to race on Sunday in the Cracker Barrel 400.
