Kaden Honeycutt

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Came into this Playoff situation, you were named one of the dark horses. Now you'll finish third. You said that the 11, he was just the one to beat tonight. How will you reflect on this experience?

KADEN HONEYCUTT: I don't think it can be anything but good honestly. Just thank you to Stewart, everyone at HFR, Toyota, Halmar, everyone that gave me the chance to be here tonight honestly.

We had a good truck. The initial start is what it is. Ultimately didn't change how we finished. In our speed, we were able to get back up there, fight the two in the end.

The last restart the only thing I had a chance at is if him and Corey got together and we could have been three on the bottom into three. Ultimately didn't happen.

Didn't have the balance we needed there to fight for it. Like I said, this run was for Stewart, this whole team. Definitely nothing to hang my head about for sure. My goal when I signed up this year was to at least be here. We did that.

Definitely was a crazy journey to be here. Thanks to everybody that has been supporting me and been in my corner. Looking forward to next year, and hopefully have Stewart back in the seat where he belongs with this team.

Q. Now that you've raced in a Playoff, will you approach the season different?

KADEN HONEYCUTT: I don't know. We'll have to see. I've heard different things about things changing next year. Whatever the rules are, I signed up to be here, this is what I want to do the rest of my life. If they keep the format the same as it is, I'll be here. If not, I'll still be here.

Like I said, thanks to everyone that has let me do this, and looking forward to what's to come for sure with this manufacturer. I'm excited.
