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.<\/p>\n
Honeycutt addressed the change in teams Tuesday and said he was optimistic going forward, driving the truck for the injured owner-driver Stewart Friesen.<\/p>\n
In his first fulltime season the Texan has earned a pair of top-five finishes and 10 top-10 showings. His best showings of third-place were at Charlotte and Pocono, Pa. He finished an encouraging 10th-place in his debut with HFR last weekend at Richmond. He enters the Playoffs ranked ninth among the 10-drivers, but only two points below the cutoff line.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty passive person when it comes to situations and stuff happening to me,\u201d Honeycutt said. \u201cI\u2019m pretty much able to put that behind me as much as possible, and you know, everything ended on a good note so there\u2019s definitely no issues on any side of mine, personally.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that makes it a lot easier for myself. It was definitely hard at first, but now that we\u2019re moved on, everyone\u2019s doing what they need to do and we\u2019re just looking forward to the rest of these Playoffs with this No. 52 crew.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CRAFTSMAN Truck Series rookie Kaden Honeycutt goes into his first Playoff appearance in rather unusual circumstances.
