- Kaden Honeycutt's Post-Race Thoughts: Interviewer: We saw Kaden Honeycutt come up through the field early on and put up those aggressive numbers. You were the quickest truck on the racetrack for several laps; the job that the team did here tonight, what can you say about this?
“I can’t say enough about Phil Gould, Frank, Cole, Devon, Tanner; all my guys for building an amazing truck. You know, obviously I wanted to be better there myself, just needed to clean up on pit road. I lost too much time on pit road, so I’ll just go back and look at it and see where I can be better. I just wanted to thank - first of all, I wouldn’t even be here without Al Niece, Cody Efaw, Tony Valento for all the support that I get from them. My mom and dad as well, without them I wouldn’t be here at Kansas or doing any truck racing whatsoever. I just wanted to thank them and also, Niece Products of Kansas, Chevrolet, R.D.C. Shoe Company. Darren Davis, I know he’s really excited for Charlotte; that will be a heck of a race. Myself, I’m getting better. It sucks, it definitely sucks to come that close and not finish it off. But still, a great run. You’ve got to crawl before you walk, right? This is the start of something of our part-time schedule, so hopefully we can click off our first win in Charlotte in a couple of weeks.”
