Corey Heim may have dominated the Heart of America 200 At Kansas Speedway last Saturday, but did the NASCAR Truck Series driver enjoy the best effort?
Heim captured Stage 1 and led 79 or 134 laps at the 1.5-mile tri-oval. The No. 11 Toyota pilot enters next weekend’s Buckle Up South Carolina 200 at Darlington Raceway as the new series leader, fronting Christian Eckes by seven points.
Still, Kaden Honeycutt could argue that he had the better run, sans a slow pit stop during the final round of green-flag attempts. The rookie started P23 and placed career-best fourth.
During his fourth start for Niece Motorsports, Honeycutt’s No. 45 Chevrolet battled Heim, until the lost seconds along pit road set him back two spots.
It proved to be a learning experience.
“That was my second green-flag stop ever,” Honeycutt told NASCAR.com. “I didn‘t make a whole lot of mistakes and was able to get in and out and still salvage a top five.”
Honeycutt is a regular on the zMAX CARS Tour (late model stock and pro late model) and dirt late model racing. He’s also a highly rated NASCAR iRacing Road to Pro Series and eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series competitor.
P4 at Kansas. Man what a race we had for our 45 group. Ran up front all night and showed what we can do. Phil and the guys at @NieceMotorsport brought an amazing truck. Clean up my mistakes and come back better at Charlotte in a couple of weeks! Onto North Wilkesboro!👍🏻👊 pic.twitter.com/jZgYoaLRMw
