Kaden Honeycutt says he put his nuts up on the dash as he clawed his way around Christian Eckes in the closing laps to take the win in Friday night’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The TRICON Garage driver took home the series championship with his fifth win of the season.
Eckes held on to finish second ahead of Daniel Hemric, Ty Majeski, and Stewart Friesen.
Layne Riggs, the other championship contender, finished six laps off the pace in 32nd after a slew of cut tires on the evening.
