What happened
Kaden Honeycutt won at Homestead-Miami Speedway to claim his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series championship after stopping for his last set of fresh tires under caution with 27 laps remaining. He took the lead on Lap 122 after the final restart and beat Christian Eckes by 1.038 seconds.
Details
Layne Riggs’ contact with Nick Sanchez on Lap 2 left his No. 34 truck with a right-rear tire rub. Repeated failures of that tire disrupted his championship bid. Riggs also received a pass-through penalty for having too many crew members in the pit service area during his Lap 45 stop.
Riggs entered the finale 20 points behind Honeycutt. He finished 32nd, six laps down, and ended the season 2nd in the championship, 83 points behind.
A restart also brought a multitruck crash when Tanner Gray got sideways battling Landen Lewis. Gray spun and collected Andres Perez de Lara, Tyler Reif and Tyler Ankrum.
