Spire has a charter. 23XI is up in the air.
The Yotas have pretty much moved people up out of the Trucks, skipped over the Trucks with some while meanwhile Heim has been kept in the Trucks. I wouldn't think Heim owes them any loyalty but you never know. I don't think Spire is as good a ride as 23XI, but you never know with Heim driving. He's pretty damn good.It seems like Toyota has not made it a priority to get Heim to move up the ladder all that quickly, unlike what Chevrolet has done with Zilisch. If he leaves Toyota, it wouldn't be a surprise.
23XI would have been better served putting Heim in the #35 instead of Herbst.The Yotas have pretty much moved people up out of the Trucks, skipped over the Trucks with some while meanwhile Heim has been kept in the Trucks.

They moved Taylor Gray and Sawalich up full time Xfinity and kept Heim in the Trucks?23XI would have been better served putting Heim in the #35 instead of Herbst.

Okay, I'm missing something (as usual). Why is it Denny's responsibility to find Heim a home? Is Corey under contract to 23XI? If not, this sounds more like Toyota's development problem than 23XI's.

23XI Welcomes Corey Heim as Development Driver
Heim Set to Compete in Multiple Cup Series Races with 23XI and Xfinity Series Races with Sam Hunt Racingwww.23xiracing.com
Heim has earned better than being relegated to Toyota's red-headed stepchild. I don't know that jumping ship to Spire would result in getting a better ride than Legacy but Spire sure seem to be improving faster.Legacy needs to give Nemechek the boot and put Heim in the 42.
Want to waste a driver's career and sentence him to mediocrity? Send him to Legacy.
With Spire technically ahead in 20th and 22nd. Not much of a difference but I still have the impression Spire is improving more quickly.Oh yea Legacy is just screaming along in 21st and 23rd place.
Heim won't ever get a ride at JGR because Baby Rev doesn't like him.

I don't think any driver with a half decent agent would look at 23XI until this is settled. Denny and MJ may have a seat or two open up whether they like it or not, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to sign up with them. 23FRM's situation is going to put some drama in what looked like a relatively quiet Silly Season.
That's what I meant by a seat opening up. If you were Heim, would you sign with an unchartered team? I'd call Reddick and ask him why he's jumping ship. I'm betting the answer would involve administration and not the racing side of the organization.What if Tyler Reddick bails to compete with a chartered team? Which is within his rights.
Are you referring to Toddler Ty?
If this is true, I just became a Heim fan
Ty and Heim had a run in back when they were in ARCA.What's Gibbs' problem, besides Heim having more talent than HeHitsUs?
