SEVEN-Wide Overtime Restart Determines Truck Champion | 2025 NASCAR Truck Extended Highlights

The green flag is in the championship night. Already fanning out 3, 4, 5 wide. Michael, you said it was going to happen. It's happening all the way through the field. This is what I love about Phoenix's 4 and 5 wide racing on these starts and restarts. Caution is out. The 26, big hit. Not what you want to see lap number one. Guys, we've seen so many of these truck races recently. Lap one to lap five, there's an incident. Watch this right here, Michael. This is what we've talked. NASCAR has been warning us. Yes. We've talked about this a lot. Guilty right there was Caden Honeycutt. He clearly moved below Brent Cruise. Look how close they get to that inside wall prior to crossing the start-finish line. You have to stay in line. By the way, there's another fast truck back there. Somewhere in there. Lane Riggs. He's got good company. They could come through the field. Jack Wood was penalized there as well. They will restart here in the back of the Pat Caden Honeycutt. 31st. Here we go once again. Brent Cruise on the inside. Chandler Smith on the outside. Let the wildness begin. Going so fast, I can't count up to five wide. Look at Matt Crafton. He's down next to the inside wall. Even if it's just one, it pays dividends. You see right here, riding along with Corey Hime. All the way down to the bottom. We're going to see that all night long. You hear the truck hitting as it goes across the apron. That was part of the penalty that Lane Riggs had to pay for failing inspection for multiple issues. He paid that price. Now it's all eyes forward to see what he can make up here. The battle continues with the 11 of Corey Hime and Rajah Carruth on the outside. You can kind of swing away from a guy down here, but your truck wants to get really loose on the bottom. He's got to be careful here. We've seen a number of competitors have problems. When that happens, it might go sideways. Corey Hime doing a really nice job to complete that pass in turns one and two. They're going to have to worry about that here for just a little bit. You're almost blind as you go into the corner. You're going more based on feel. It's very challenging. How fun is it, though, when you've got a better truck than people you know? You've probably got a driver that's a little bit fired up behind the wheel in Caden Honeycutt right now. As much as he's loving it, I know he probably doesn't want to be back there doing that. I just like this 98 truck right now. He's tracking Rajah down. Look at that. Pulls to the inside. He said he had a really strong truck in the long run. I like the way it felt. He's moving forward. I know Corey Hime is the talk of the town, but I don't believe Ty Bojeski is buying into all that. I think he thinks he's on equal footing with him tonight. Looks like he's going to maybe have a little run into three. Not quite going to work out this time. Now he should have momentum. Now he can make the move he wants. Side by side. Corey Hime. Chandler Smith. Chandler chased him down there. He's not ready to give up this lead. Not sure he's going to have enough to be able to hold that off and make another crossover. The 11 truck. I love Corey buying his time, waiting for the right time to make the move. That was the right time. Set the move up. He did that by moving around on the racetrack. You got to believe Corey learned something for later on in the race right there as well. As you see a little separation. They've been connected all night long and trying to battle. Here we see the 52 of Caden Honeycutt getting another position up to the seventh position for Caden Honeycutt. Things continue to go well. Jimmy Villeneuve had his crew chief in the radio we just aired talking about we've got a rocket ship here if we can just keep it clean. They're always really good. It's the final lap of stage number one. It goes to Corey Hime. He is just one more stage. Why don't you talk about those broken records, Jamie? Why don't you be a broken record? He blamed that because he had to come from behind. He had to come from the back. Jimmy Villeneuve is going to take a little bit of wedge out of it. Overall, he's a really happy camper. Amanda? Corey Hime into his pit box. Let's put some slicks on here and let's see how that truck feels. So Rajah Kruth on the inside. Corey Hime outside. Watch Fred Cruz right behind him in that one truck. Ty Majewski outside second row. Fanning out all over the place through the dogleg. Look at those sparks. Those loads of fuel. That was amazing to see. Corey Hime to the lead. He gets it. Pick your own destination, right? If you're Corey Hime from out there. If you need to now. It also gives the opportunity for somebody to sail it off in there as we see three and four wide again here. It is incredible what these drivers do at this racetrack and the spotters as well being able to talk it through their driver. Maybe can keep it more balanced as they go. It's Kate and Honeycutt trying to pick up fifth position from Tanner Gray. Hearing Honeycutt talking about this hot rod, he is happy with what this truck has to offer so far. This is so impressive. And have probably 100, 120 employees. This is a single truck team with 14 employees. Jimmy Villano, Stuart Friesen have done a great job of rebuilding this team to get this kind of performance out of it. What a great place to be. Another spot there for Kate and Honeycutt. Yes, it is. Kate and Honeycutt up to fourth. Up front. Put it down a little bit farther, guys. He opened up that gap just a little bit over Ty Majewski. About three-tenths. One more corner to complete that pass. Raja wasn't quite ready to fully give it up just yet. Did you see Raja working that wheel down on the bottom trying to keep it off of Kate? He wasn't giving up, though. Look at this place. the go. Remember, he had to start in the back. Had to do the drive-through penalty as well. He was able to keep it on the lead lap, though. And that was key. He got close to that inside pit wall when he cut the corner down there. No matter how many times I see it, I get nervous that somebody's going to get it wrong and clip that. And a nice job here completing this pass. He was able to utilize that shorter racetrack and use the apron of the racetrack, Michael, to come up and clear the number 7 of Stephen Parsons. You mentioned that, Regan. Under a second. It was getting good, guys. We knew Ty Majewski. I said in the opening, he's not giving anything to Corey Haim right now. As you see him sliding his back in. What a night for Ty Majewski. They've been working on this truck. Here's another opportunity coming up for him to get it just even a little bit better. And there it is. Corey Haim. Kicks out. for Haim time. Corey Haim. But now up in the clean air, the truck is a little free. He likes where the chassis is at. Just wants a small air pressure adjustment. Amanda? Corey Haim saying he wants to be tightened up and he's free getting out of this race. But all eyes are going to be on how Corey Haim exits right here. The team did sweep this box and put down some more P.J.1. You can smell it in the air. Let's take a look. And you see, Amanda, still skidding. He jumps one spot, takes the lead. Corey Haim spins his way out into second. First time we've seen Corey Haim, Ty Majewski, side by side. 51 laps to go. Caden Honeycutt right there in the middle of that mess. Trucks all over the place. Ty Majewski right now with the lead. Corey Haim still on the inside. Brett Cruz right there. Here comes Caden Honeycutt in fourth. He's going to leave it on the bottom into three. Dives deep into that corner, Regan, and makes it work. Wow, what a move. Back to the lead. He does it again, Regan. He likes it up there. That's right. I love that, Regan. Like in baseball. You hit them where they ain't racing, you got to go with it or not. There's the move to the bottom. You know, I talk about making mistakes. Jamie, you can't make them late. Lane Riggs had the problem. We saw Honeycutt have the problem, but it was on the first lap. They've been able to show you how good they are. They've been able to fight back. What a battle these two are putting on for fifth. Lane Riggs, Rajah Karouf. We don't know if we'll see Rajah back in a truck. We know he's going full-time XFINITY racing next year. It's a little sideways enter in turn one or kind of just after the middle of turn one almost and can't quite save it. Yeah, Regan Lane was adamant that he wanted to come in. He feels very disconnected from this truck. He's finding some tightness out there. Asked for an adjustment in four tires from the crew chief tonight of Jonathan Coase. He said, bring it in, bud. You've got to know when you know, and Lane Riggs knows. He said, I can't win like this. I've started in the back once, and I'll do it again. Let's go again. So a handful of takers on pit lane. But he knows what not to do right here. Look at Caden Honeycutt right in the middle. Oh, something happened to Cruz. He's off the pace. They all get around him safely. Look at Caden Honeycutt looking for the lead right here on the inside of Corey Heim. Trucks all over the place. Look at Corey Heim has set sail. Wow. Caden had the 98. Majeski cleared for a moment, but Majeski in a second. We've got a big crash. Caution is out again for the fifth time. Gio Ruggiero involved. Oh, the 44 got loose, Regan, into the turn. Look at that impact. Bailey Curry with a big hit there, too, in the 45. That's going to end his night as well. Didn't it look like to you that Andres got loose and that started it? Or can we get another look at that? That's a future star of the truck series. So here we go. Back under green. Corey Heim, Ty Majeski on the inside. Caden Honeycutt, three of our championship contenders all together. You can throw a blanket over him right there. Good start by Majeski. Look at Lane Riggs in the 34 truck. Keep in mind, fresher tires on that 34 truck of Lane Riggs as he goes all the way to the bottom there. Didn't quite work out, but Majeski gets right next to Corey Heim. Corey clears him. Maintains the lead there. Lane Riggs around the outside of Caden. He told us at the start of this race, he said, if I get in front of him, I think I can hold him off. It doesn't look like it's going to be much of a battle. Guys, the battle up front, side by side. Lane Riggs, three-time winner this year. He's been the one that can run with Corey Heim. He takes the lead for the first time tonight. He started in the back for a penalty. Then he had a pass-through at the start of the race. Unbelievable. Lane Riggs is leading over Corey Heim at Phoenix Raceway with 23 laps to go. Lane Riggs continues to lead out front. He's in the wall. Is that going to bring out the caution? Yes, it is. The caution comes out. Please tell me. We will have NASCAR overtime. Two tires. Looks like two tires away. Two tires for Caden Honeycutt. And that's not a great pit stop. It looked like a little bit of trouble there getting the left on. Majeski Honeycutt with right sides. Corey Heim with four fresh tires on the inside. They're stacking up on the right side. Green flag is in the air. NASCAR overtime. Five wide up front. Parsons on the outside. Here comes Ty Majeski. Look at Corey Heim. Side by side. Majeski. The next flag they see will be the white one. Squeezes in there. It looked like Butcher just came down a little bit. Not knowing that infinger had committed. Tough spot there. You're coming straight at the spotters where they stand down and turn three and four at Phoenix. You have to remember also that Cole Butcher on old tires just doing whatever he can to try and hold them off there. I know that doesn't make Tyler Ancrum feel any better. But everybody coming together here. It's four wide into turn three at Phoenix. Tanner Gray in the 15 was having a great night as well. Caught up right here. Saved by Stephan Parsons in the seven. That green truck make a big save. Huge impacts. It looked like Butcher just tried to squeeze in there. The rookie. All right, guys. Here we go. NASCAR overtime. Number two. Ty Majeski. Corey Heim up front. Two laps to decide the championship. Right there. Nose to nose. Majeski sends it in there. Heim up the track. Ty Majeski. Caden Honeycutt. This young man from Georgia. It has been magical. And here he comes one last time. Corey Heim wins the race. Corey Heim is a champion. There it is. Such an impressive view. Love the emotion, man. All the different scenarios that played out. And then this man. Doing what he does. For his girlfriend. His dad. Family. Oh, my goodness. Strong like bull. It is Heim time for the 12th time this year.
