Kaden Honeycutt is the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, winning Friday night's season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway to take the title in the most emphatic way possible — by winning the race itself.

The decisive stretch came late. Honeycutt clawed around Christian Eckes in the closing laps and charged to the lead on the final restart, sealing both the race win and the championship in one run. His path cleared earlier in the night when title rival Layne Riggs fell out of contention, but Honeycutt left nothing to the math, taking the checkered flag outright.

The champion didn't lack for color afterward, telling reporters he "put my nuts on the dash" in the final charge, per Motorsport.com's account of the night.

It caps a breakout season for Honeycutt, who entered the Championship 4 and delivered under the highest pressure the Truck Series offers: a winner-take-all finale where the title contender who crosses the line first takes everything. Full race results and final series points are in the books at Homestead.
