Sparks Fly in NASCAR: Corey Heim and Taylor Reimer Fuel Dating Rumors
Romantic relationships among NASCAR drivers are uncommon but not unheard of. The sport has seen its share of high-profile pairings, most notably Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who dated from 2012 to 2017. Now, as the 2025 season approaches, speculation is swirling about a potential new couple in the paddock: Corey Heim, the No. 11 Toyota Tundra driver for TRICON Garage, and Taylor Reimer, an ARCA Menards Series competitor.
A Stellar Year for Corey Heim, On and Off the Track
At just 22 years old, Corey Heim has already made a name for himself in the Truck Series. The 2024 season was a breakout year, with Heim securing six victories, 14 top-five finishes, and 18 top-10s in 23 races. He achieved his 10th Truck Series win at Kansas, becoming the youngest driver in the series to do so. While Heim’s on-track performance has been remarkable, his personal life seems to be grabbing attention too.
Recently, Heim was spotted alongside Taylor Reimer, a fellow Toyota Racing Development (TRD) driver. The pair’s connection seems natural, given their shared background in the TRD program. Heim has been a Toyota driver throughout his career, competing with Kyle Busch Motorsports from 2021-2022 and currently with TRICON Garage. Similarly, Reimer drives for Venturini Motorsports in ARCA Menards Series events and also competes in NASCAR Regional Series Limited Late Models.
A New Year’s Eve Post Sparks Rumors
On New Year’s Eve, Reimer shared a photo of herself with Heim on social media, captioned: “NYE ✨🌎.” The post quickly ignited speculation, with fans and followers buzzing about a possible romantic relationship between the two young drivers. While there has been no official confirmation from either party, the photo and their TRD connection have fueled the rumors.
Reimer, who drives the No. 55 BuzzBallz Toyota Camry, has built her reputation in motorsports as a versatile and competitive driver. If the rumors are true, her shared passion for racing with Heim could create a dynamic and supportive relationship.
Fans React to the Rumored Romance
The racing community on X (formerly Twitter) wasted no time in reacting to the speculation. Some fans drew comparisons to the relationship between Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., noting the rarity of high-profile romances in the sport.
One fan quipped, “Just when I thought I’ve seen everything…” while another joked, “Just fell to my knees in Walmart.” However, not all reactions were lighthearted. Highlighting the professional risks of dating within the same organization, a fan remarked, “Weren’t people told to not date your coworkers?”
Interestingly, some fans speculated that Heim might have been romantically linked to Toni Breidinger, his new TRICON Garage teammate for 2025, as both share ties to the TRD program. A fan commented, “So not Toni Breidinger 🤯.” The emergence of Reimer in the narrative seems to refute those earlier theories.
On-Track Success Meets Off-Track Spotlight
Whether true or not, the rumors surrounding Corey Heim and Taylor Reimer have added an extra layer of intrigue to the upcoming NASCAR season. The spotlight on their personal lives underscores how invested the racing community is in its stars, both on and off the track.
With Heim’s continued success in the Truck Series and Reimer’s growing presence in ARCA, their rumored romance—if confirmed—could become one of the sport’s most talked-about stories. For now, fans will have to wait and see if this budding connection leads to an official announcement or simply remains another compelling narrative in the NASCAR paddock.
