- Key Takeaway: Kaden Honeycutt and the No. 45 team fought adversity throughout the day at Bristol. The team suffered a broken track bar mount in practice which forced them to start in the tail. In stage one, Honeycutt advanced through the field to lead the way for the team in 17th, but a costly speeding penalty dropped him to the tail once more in stage two. He recovered nicely, and was running right outside the top-15 when another competitor blew a tire and made heavy contact with his truck. Unfortunately, the No. 45 was done for the night and relegated to a 35th-place finish.
- Kaden Honeycutt's Post-Race Thoughts:
“Just a tough deal there. I saw Daniel (Dye) get the flat tire in front of me, but once I got to him I was committed to the top in turn three. I went down to the bottom to try and get around him because I thought I could have avoided him. I guess he wasn’t able to control it with the tire. My speeding penalty, that was all my fault. That put us behind in the second stage, and we played catch up all night. I really thought we were in a good position - I wasn’t told, but I was just driving. Felt like we were pretty solid, just a really stupid mistake. I hate that we were the first ones of course to get caught up in something again that we really didn’t have anything to do with. Just really unfortunate.”
