A part-time driver with just 15 career starts, and Corey Heim is already a multi-time winner in the NASCAR Cup Series. What an incredible talent.

And Todd Gilliland earns the $1 million prize as part of the In-Season Challenge, finishing two positions ahead of Ryan Blaney!

COREY HEIM WINS THE BRICKYARD 400 AT INDIANAPOLIS AS A PART-TIME DRIVER!

No change at the front...these cars just appear stuck where they are, but Heim's car isn't handling well at the moment either.

Looking at the battle for the $1 million, Allmendinger is the only car between Gilliland and Blaney

One second between the top three drivers. It's Heim, Bell, Logano.

Bell still shadowing Heim for the race lead, while Logano creeps closer to the leading duo

Heim leads the race, Bell about a second behind.

It's also very rare to see the leader passed at this track..

Looking at the In-Season Challenge battle, Blaney is not out of this...just over a second behind Gilliland. 

Heim basically put Hamlin in a position to lift or crash. That should make for an interesting talking point

Heim takes the lead back! Slams the door on his boss and Hamlin loses several spots back to P5

With Blaney torn up, Gilliland has a real shot at the $1 million prize as part of the In-Season Challenge, but the Penske driver is not out of this race. Repairs have been made and Blaney remains on the lead lap

Wreck began with Nemechek trying to send it up the middle into Turn 3 and slammed the wall. A. Hill, Allmendinger, Herbst, Mears all involved as well.

Caution is out. Hamlin got the lead from Heim before the yellow

CRASH: Ryan Blaney is involved! Several cars in it...

Green flag! 42 laps to go in the Brickyard 400

Oh, Bubba Wallace makes some contact with his pit crew members while sliding into the box!

Some two-tire calls with Heim winning the race off pit road over Hamlin

Right on the edge of the fuel widnow here, so that should make things interesting.

Gilliland with a big three-wide move up the middle...for 28th. Every position matters!

These restarts are so chaotic, but things are calming down a bit now Gibbs leads Hamlin and Heim

Gibbs and Hamlin on the front row for the Stage 3 restart...green flag!

Chastain and Gilliland pit now, but pit road is fairly empty behind them

Ross Chastain wins Stage 2 while on fumes, but he'll have to pit asap...even if the pit lane remains closed

Gragson and Zilisch had a heated dispute on-track earlier in the race as well. Take a look at this:

 

Ross Chastain is leading, but he has to be running on fumes
