CRAFTSMAN Truck Series rookie Kaden Honeycutt goes into his first Playoff appearance in rather unusual circumstances. The talented 22-year-old drove a truck for Niece Motorsports the first 16 weeks of the season and is now steering the No. 52 Halmar Friesen Racing Toyota for the Playoffs.
Honeycutt addressed the change in teams Tuesday and said he was optimistic going forward, driving the truck for the injured owner-driver Stewart Friesen.
There have been seasons when the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series did not always feature a “gentlemen’s agreement” of sorts when it came to close-quarter driving or important Playoff cutoff races. Interestingly, the drivers this season, say competition has been notably more respectful than in some previous years.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – While the 10-driver NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoff field does not deny Regular Season Champion Corey Heim – a series-best seven-time race winner – certainly holds a commanding presence in the 2025 title run, his competition says it is ready to be put to the championship test.

Top Rep Training, built specifically for home service companies, was featured earlier this year at Nashville Superspeedway.
“I used to sell cars at Hendrick Auto Group,” Spencer Boyd said. “I know how important sales training is. What Chuck and his group at Top Rep are doing is needed for contractors. We’ve got so many small business owners in the construction space watching our races that it is a great fit for Top Rep.”
