Kaden Honeycutt bemoans 'nutsack' discomfort during Truck Series championship race

While Kaden Honeycutt overcame his Lap 1 penalty for the start of the race, he wasn’t able to stop one thing from hurting. Stage 1 was a big rough on Honeycutt as the NASCAR Truck Series driver had his belts improperly placed.

When you listen to a driver’s radio communications, it can reveal a lot. Sometimes, it reveals perhaps a little too much?

While racing back from his penalty back into the top-10 like it was nothing, Kaden Honeycutt had a problem. His crotch belt was too tight. He was going so fast because he wanted to get that stage over with!

“It didn’t help that my nutsack was in the crotch belt so my nuts hurt right now,” Honeycutt said, via Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports. Not how you want to race a truck, folks.

Kaden Honeycutt is racing for a championship tonight. After starting up near the front, Honeycutt pulled out of his line too early on the start. That sent the 52 truck to the rear of the field. From there, Honeycutt went to work. It wasn’t without sacrifice, though.

Even if Honeycutt doesn’t win the race and the championship, he has done so well in these NASCAR Playoffs. Taking over the 52 for the injured Stewart Friesen and then taking it to the championship race is an accomplishment in and of itself. Now let’s make sure we have an ice pack ready for my man at the end of tonight’s race.

Kaden Honeycutt wants to be the spoiler for Corey Heim

For Kaden Honeycutt, Ty Majeski, and Tyler Ankrum, tonight is all about beating Corey Heim. He has rewritten the record books two and three times over. He has 11 wins, has led the most laps in a single season, has led a lap in every race, and has won too many stages to count.

For Honeycutt, tonight’s race is about getting that win and hoisting the championship. Not just for himself, but for Stewart Friesen, Halmar-Friesen Racing, and Toyota, who have taken him in since leaving Niece Motorsports and Chevy this year.

While Honeycutt was surging towards the front, he eventually hit a wall. Unless he is able to find another gear, Heim is simply too fast and too good tonight. It really has not been very close between Heim and everyone else in the field outside of restarts.

Will we see Kaden Honeycutt or anyone else beat Corey Heim? It feels like the race has already been decided.
