Breaking news on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Corey Heim is not the sports-betting favorite to visit Victory Lane during Saturday’s Window World 250 at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Heim may be dominating the circuit with three wins and eight top-10 finishes in nine outings, but when it comes to series royalty, Kyle Busch remains the driver to beat.
Despite a recent Cup slump, Busch recorded 232 national series wins, including 67 on the truck series. Busch is 1-for-1 this season after winning in his only start at Atlanta. Since 2023, Busch has competed in 11 Truck races, compiling five wins, eight top-five finishes and nine top-10s.
The future NASCAR Hall of Famer earned +180 odds to win Saturday from BetOnline Sportsbook. Heim was listed at +225 and Layne Riggs +600.

Jack Wood Staying Close To Home
Jack Wood plans to make a short drive north from McAnally-Hilgemann Racing’s Statesville, North Carolina, base to North Wilkesboro Speedway for Saturday’s event, his second start at the 0.625-mile oval track.
Last year, Wood recorded a P12, his best finish of the season. The No. 91 Chevrolet team will be out to rebound from a P24 at Kansas last Saturday. Through nine circuit starts, he recorded one top-10 finish and one stage win. He ranks 16th in the drivers’ standings, 226 points behind front-runner Heim.
“I am really excited to get back to North Wilkesboro and back to a short track,” Wood said via press release. “I know we will be able to have a chance to stick up front.”
