Legacy Motor Club ‘unlikely’ to sign this rising NASCAR star for 2025

Legacy Motor Club has one of its two seats lined up for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season as John Hunter Nemechek is under contract. However, Erik Jones is likely to return but doesn’t have a contract. The NASCAR organization has slowly been improving, but Jones isn’t locked in. If he does leave, don’t expect this rising NASCAR star to take over the No. 43 car.

According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Legacy Motor Club is “unlikely” to sign Corey Heim if the No. 43 car were to open up for 2025. Heim is reportedly eyeing a ride at 23XI Racing in the next few years. The TRICON Garage driver is the reserve driver for Legacy Motor Club and made two starts in the No. 43 car while Jones recovered from his back injury.

Heim is likelier to return to the NASCAR Truck Series or jump to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025. The Truck Series driver has been impressive in the No. 11 Toyota, with five wins in 15 races. Legacy Motor Club hopes that Jones stays in the No. 43 car, but in the event of his departure, Heim would likely not be an option.
