History & significance

It was the fourth career Truck Series win for the 23-year-old from Willow Park, Texas. All four have come in 2026, starting at Watkins Glen in May, and this was his first at Phoenix. Honeycutt now leads the Chase by 39 points over Riggs, with Eckes third, 112 back, and three races left. Eckes has been runner-up in three straight races. The win was crew chief Scott Zipadelli’s 39th in the series, five short of Eric Phillips’ all-time record. It came in the same No. 11 TRICON Toyota that Corey Heim drove to the 2025 title at Phoenix.

What’s next

The Truck Series returns with the Love’s RV Stop 225 at Talladega Superspeedway on Friday, October 23, 2026 (Talladega Superspeedway schedule). Three races remain in the 2026 season.
