Racing career
Heim's 2019 ARCA car

Heim raced in Legends cars, winning the 2016 Young Lions division and the 2017 Thursday Thunder Pro division championship at Atlanta Motor Speedway.[1] He later transitioned to running super late models, driving in events sanctioned by the CARS Tour, Southern Super Series, Pro All-Stars Series (PASS), and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.[1] Late in 2018, Heim crossed the finish line first in the ValleyStar Credit Union 300, but lost the race on a rules procedure.[2] A short time later, he won his first super late model race, at South Boston Speedway.[3] Even after moving up to national touring series, Heim still raced at large late model events like Short Track Nationals,[4] and almost scored a PASS win at Richmond Raceway in March 2018 before being disqualified because of engine spacers.[5]

Before the 2019 season, Heim signed with Chad Bryant Racing to run 13 of 20 ARCA Menards Series events for the year.[1] He scored a top-five finish in his series debut, which came at Five Flags Speedway in March.[6]

On January 12, 2020, Heim announced a full-season CARS Late Model Stock Tour schedule with Lee Pulliam Performance.[7] On January 16, it was announced that Heim would join Venturini Motorsports for seven total races: three in the ARCA Menards Series East, and two apiece in the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series West.[8] On January 25, Heim won the SpeedFest 200 late model race in Georgia.[9] On July 24, Heim placed fourth at Kansas Speedway in ARCA Menards Series competition after a flat tire dropped him from second on the final lap.[10] In his return to Kansas in October, Heim led the most laps and won the race.[11]

In 2021, Heim was promoted to a full-time deal with Venturini, driving the No. 20 in the main ARCA Menards Series, replacing Chandler Smith and Ryan Repko. Smith moved up to the Truck Series full-time in 2021 with Kyle Busch Motorsports. Repko's 2021 plans have yet to be announced. Heim's crew chief that year would be Shannon Rursch, who moved over from Venturini's No. 15 car of Drew Dollar.[12]

Personal life

Heim attends Kennesaw Mountain High School.[13]
