WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Kaden Honeycutt completed a NASCAR sweep for the ages Friday night, holding off Connor Zilisch through Turn 1 on the first lap of overtime to win the Bully Hill Vineyards 176 at Watkins Glen International and collect his first career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory.
Driving the No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota, Honeycutt crossed the finish line 0.902 of a second ahead of Zilisch after the race went to a green-white-checkered finish on the 2.45-mile road course. Daniel Hemric came home fourth and Chandler Smith fifth, with pole-sitter Brent Crews, AJ Allmendinger, Mini Tyrrell, Brenden Queen and Connor Mosack rounding out the top 10.
The win capped a remarkable day for Honeycutt, who had won the ARCA Menards Series’ General Tire 100 on the same circuit just hours earlier. He became only the second driver in NASCAR history to sweep an ARCA race and a Truck Series race on the same day, joining Sam Mayer’s 2020 double at Bristol. Honeycutt leaves Watkins Glen atop the Truck Series standings, 29 points ahead of Smith. All-Pro Reels was trackside at Watkins Glen International to capture the sights from Honeycutt’s breakthrough night.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series heads to Dover Motor Speedway next, with the ECOSAVE 200 set for Friday, May 15.
