Kaden Honeycutt Finds Ride for Remainder of the Season

What’s Happening?

Following his release from Niece Motorsports Monday morning, Kaden Honeycutt has found a ride for the remainder of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, filling in for an injured Stewart Friesen at Halmar Friesen Racing starting next weekend at Richmond Raceway.

Update: Kaden Honeycutt announced on X that he will race for Young’s Motorsports this weekend at Watkins Glen International.

• Honeycutt, in his first full-time season racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, was released from his deal with Niece Monday afternoon. Currently sitting sixth in points, fans wondered if Honeycutt would still qualify for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs without a ride.
• On Tuesday afternoon, Halmar Friesen Racing confirmed that the 22-year-old prospect will drive their No. 52 entry for the remainder of the season, starting next weekend. Stewart Friesen, the full-time driver of the No. 52, is out for the remainder of the season following a fiery crash during a big block modified dirt race last week.
• Though he gets behind the wheel of the No. 52 next weekend, Christopher Bell has taken on driving duties this weekend. As of right now, Honeycutt could qualify for the playoffs; however, he has yet to find a ride for this weekend’s race at Watkins Glen International.
• Niece claimed Monday morning that Honeycutt had signed a contract with a rival team and OEM for the 2026 season. Stating that moving on from the driver at this moment “allows our team the opportunity to begin building for next year.”
• That new OEM is expected to be Toyota, and Honeycutt will likely take on full-time driving duties at the TRICON Garage for the 2026 season.
