Corey Heim fires back!
“I wasn't that against the win and advance thing. I think that was fine. Because you win to get in, then you win to advance, and you win to win the championship.” Even after everything he went through under the old format, Heim says the idea itself made sense.
He also pushed back on the nostalgia debate saying, “I'm not gonna lie... it's not like I'm sitting there being like, wow, this racing's so much better than what it is today. Like, it's really not.”
