Corey Heim Wins Daytona Truck Race Following Kligerman Disqualification

Parker Kligerman initially celebrated what he thought was his fourth career victory at the Fresh From Florida 250 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, but his joy was cut short when NASCAR disqualified his truck due to ride height violations. As a result, Corey Heim was declared the winner, marking his 12th career victory despite expressing sympathy for Kligerman's misfortune. The race was chaotic, featuring multiple cautions and a dramatic finish, with Kligerman leading until the final inspection revealed the infraction. Giovanni Ruggiero, a rookie, benefited from Kligerman's disqualification, finishing second in his Truck Series debut. Kligerman's team intends to appeal the disqualification, hoping to reclaim the victory. This incident continues a trend in NASCAR where the first driver across the finish line does not always officially win the race.
