NASCAR driver Corey Heim targeted in scuffle at Martinsville late-model race
At Martinsville's hot dog stand, Brickyard 400 winner Corey Heim was involved in a scuffle with opposing crew members after a late-model race.
On Saturday, September 26, at Martinsville Speedway, a high-profile late-model stockcar race, the ValleyStar Credit Union 300, saw fireworks both on and off the track. Race winner Brickyard 400 champion Corey Heim and third-place finisher Treyton Lapcevich engaged in an aggressive two-lap battle for second place after a late caution.
Lapcevich bumped Heim's No. 22 Toyota from behind during an attempted confrontation on pit road, but was stopped by his team owner, Chad Bryant. Bryant's crew then attacked Heim near the iconic hot dog stand as he exited pit road, resulting in a brawl lasting about 20 seconds and ending with Heim escorted off the premises by Henry County Sheriff’s deputies.
Heim later posted a selfie from the track with a thumbs-up caption, suggesting he didn't plan to confront Lapcevich. This incident marks the second post-race altercation involving rising NASCAR star Corey Heim in as many weekends.
