Kaden Honeycutt will drive in place of an injured Stewart Friesen for the balance of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series beginning next weekend at Richmond, the team announced Tuesday. Friesen suffered a fractured right leg and an unstable/open-book pelvic fracture in a July 28 dirt modified race in Canada.

Enter Kaden Honeycutt, who was abruptly let go from his full-time ride at Niece Motorsports this week for signing with a rival team and manufacturer for 2026 (believed to be TRICON and Toyota). Honeycutt is also bound for playoffs, sitting 73 points above the cut-line.

Kaden Honeycutt will replace Stewart Friesen in the No. 52 truck for Halmar Friesen Racing starting at Richmond Raceway for the rest of 2025.
