In an amazing step, niece Motorsports has released Kaden Honeycut immediately from the team. Honeycut Naskar truck championship ranks sixth in the championship standing, 73 points of cut-line in the fight to make the playoffs.
Despite this, the team has chosen to participate with him in the middle of the season, but why? The niece stated the reason for this: “Honeycut has signed a contract for the race with a separate truck chain organization and OEM (producer) in 2026 – making this change gives our team an opportunity to start construction for next year.”
Zilisk to draw triple duty
As a result of this sudden development, the Rising Star Connor Zilisk will run the number 45 truck in Watkins Glenn later this week. The 19 -year -old triple will be drawing duty as he also runs an exfinity race with JR Motorsports and a cup race with trackhouse racing. He also won the Exfinity Race in Watkins Glenn last year.
Starting from Richmond, Belle Curie piloted the number 45 truck for the remaining season, with Phil Gold as the head of the crew.
Honeycut is likely to be a part of the playoffs, but now he will have to scramble to find a new ride. It is understood that his deal for 2026 includes the Tricon Garage Toyota team, so it is possible that they can arrange a ride for them that are competing for the first time in the playoffs. Another Toyota team also requires a driver for the playoffs as Stewart Frisen is cured by serious injuries in a dirt modified accident.
The 22 -year -old starts 50 with four top fives and 19 top tens in the truck chain. He has been driving for Chevrolet since mid -2023 season.
