On this episode of Speed This Week, the crew chief and driver Trey Rice dig into what Corey Heim’s historic Truck Series season really means. They break down just how absurd his 2025 numbers were—leading over half the laps all year, dominating every major stat column, and cementing himself as the next big thing in NASCAR.

From whether Toyota and 23XI can afford to ever let him go, to how quickly he could win at the Cup level, the guys make the case that Heim isn’t just good—he’s era-defining. From there, they zoom out to the bigger picture: crumbling TV ratings, scattered broadcast/streaming deals, Amazon races nobody can find, and why NASCAR is risking its core audience by being everywhere and nowhere at once. They touch on the Michael Jordan vs. NASCAR legal fight, the charter bubble, and why the France family’s control of the sport is under real pressure.

The show closes with a look at gambling scandals in other sports (and why Trey is convinced that kind of thing doesn’t fly in NASCAR), plus a quick check-in on the Carolina Panthers’ brutal loss to the Saints and what it reveals about play-calling, Bryce Young, and missed opportunities.

Fast numbers, honest opinions, zero sugarcoating.
