Heim, who will move into a full-time ride next season at 23XI Racing, snatched the lead from Reddick with two laps remaining after stalking the points leader around the 16-turn, 3.4-mile street course on Coronado Island, just south of downtown San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m speechless,\u201d Heim said. \u201cMaybe I knocked some good into the car. I have no idea. I had high expectations coming into this race. I just reset and went after it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s the second time in three years that an inaugural street race has produced a first-time winner in NASCAR\u2019s premier series. Shane van Gisbergen won his Cup debut in the 2023 Chicago Street Race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bubba Wallace finished 10.365 seconds behind Heim in a 1-2 finish for 23XI Racing, the team co-owned by Denny Hamlin and NBA legend Michael Jordan. Reddick suffered a flat tire in the closing laps and fell to 25th.<\/span><\/p>\n
