The finale now has a confirmed winner

Kaden Honeycutt won at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 6 and secured his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship. NASCAR reports that the No. 11 Tricon Garage Toyota finished 1.038 seconds ahead of Christian Eckes. This is the result of the Friday Truck race, separate from the other series competing during championship weekend.

Read the finishing order in the right series

The official results place Daniel Hemric third, Ty Majeski fourth and Stewart Friesen fifth. The race covered 134 laps, with Honeycutt leading 15. Those figures describe this event; a finishing position is not the same measure as a season points position.

The decisive late-race move

NASCAR’s recap identifies a stop for fresh tires late in the race and Honeycutt taking the lead following the lap-120 restart. The win was his fifth of the season. The series’ post-race inspection concluded without issue; NASCAR also listed a separate engine teardown for November 7. Do not describe that later check as already completed.

A short checklist for following the weekend

  • Label a saved result with series, track and race date.
  • Keep the race classification separate from championship standings.
  • Use the final official recap when replacing a pre-race reminder.

For drivers following the sport between work commitments, this avoids carrying Friday’s Truck start time into a reminder for another race. The official recap below provides the result and its inspection note. This report covers competition results, without drawing maintenance or road-driving advice from a racing tire decision.
