In stage two, the DQS / DealBadger Silverado worked its way towards the front, collecting six stage points with a fifth-place effort. At the end of the race, all three Niece Motorsports teammates - Honeycutt, Currey, and Mills - lined up nose-to-tail to contend for the victory. Honeycutt was credited with a sixth-place finish for the second year in a row.
- Kaden Honeycutt's Post-Race Thoughts:
“It was awesome to work with our teammates up front. It’s a good day for us as a company, and I’m happy for everyone at Precision, DQS, and DealBadger. Everyone did a fantastic job today. We got stage points, which I was really happy about. Had a good points day in sixth. All in all, we came out of here with a clean truck to go back to the shop and work on. Just have to come back with something different here next year, something less draggy to go for the win. But it’s great to take some momentum and head to Las Vegas with some points moving forward to go after a championship now.”
