TRICON Garage announced on 2026-10-21 that Kaden Honeycutt has inked an extension keeping him with the team through the 2027 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season; he will continue to pilot the No. 11 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, SpeedwayMedia reported.

SpeedwayMedia reported Honeycutt — identified in the report as a 23-year-old from Willow Park, Texas — has logged four wins through 22 scheduled starts this season (at Watkins Glen in May, Richmond in August, Kansas in September and Phoenix in October) and is leading the Chase standings by 39 points with three scheduled events remaining. The report also notes TRICON’s No. 11 entry previously totaled 12 victories and won the 2025 championship with driver Corey Heim.

WHY IT MATTERS

TRICON’s extension locks the 23-year-old driver who, according to SpeedwayMedia’s reporting, has been one of the season’s most successful competitors: four victories and a 39-point lead in the Chase with three races left. For the team, retaining Honeycutt preserves continuity on its primary No. 11 entry ahead of the 2027 campaign; that continuity can be important because crew, engineering and driver familiarity often play a direct role in race preparation and setup choices.

Honeycutt’s reported midseason results also shape expectations: drivers who enter the offseason with multiple wins and a championship-point lead are positioned to carry momentum into contract negotiations, sponsor conversations and offseason testing plans. TRICON’s recent history with the No. 11 entry — SpeedwayMedia reported it notched 12 victories and the 2025 title with Corey Heim — provides a performance benchmark the team and driver are likely aiming to match or exceed.

Next items to watch, per the same reporting: the remaining three scheduled races in the current season, which will decide the championship outcome, and whether TRICON or Honeycutt make further announcements about sponsorship, crew changes or testing plans ahead of the 2027 Truck Series season.
