- Key Takeaway: Kaden Honeycutt was in contention to score his first-career win at Martinsville, but left disappointed following a late-race crash. Honeycutt earned his best-career starting spot by qualifying in third, and consistently ran near the front of the pack throughout the night. With two second-place finishes in both stages, Honeycutt bagged 18 stage points, ensuring a solid points night. Despite a 26th-place finish, Honeycutt remains well within Playoffs reach.
- Kaden Honeycutt's Post-Race Thoughts: On the late-race incident with No. 98.
“Unfortunately, I think he just wheel hopped and got into me there. I know it’s not intentional; it’s just Martinsville. If I didn’t let him in my inside off of [turn] four, he wouldn’t have been there. I just needed to do a better job to not let him get there. Man, I hate it. We were about to win a grandfather clock. I really thought I could have held him off there pretty easily, and just didn’t. I know he wheel hopped; him and I have raced well in the past, so I know it’s not intentional and he just made a mistake...
...We had a really good night - second in both stages and got really good points. All we needed to do even if we didn’t win was just finish it off, and I just hate we didn’t. I’m very happy with how we improved since the last time we’ve been here. It’s all credit to these guys - everyone at Niece Motorsports, Precision Vehicle Logistics, AutoVentive, Moore’s Venture Foods, DQS, Masked Owl Technologies for giving us the support to build trucks like these.”
