Stewart Friesen’s season took a devastating turn after a violent crash sidelined him with serious injuries. In his absence, young driver Kaden Honeycutt stepped into the No. 52 truck, not just to race, but to carry forward a teammate’s legacy. And with one heartfelt gesture, Honeycutt instantly captured the respect and admiration of fans across the NASCAR community.

The crash happened on July 28, 2025, during a Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds race at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec, Canada. Friesen’s car flipped multiple times, briefly caught fire, and was struck by another vehicle. He was rushed to the hospital with a fractured pelvis and right leg, and later underwent surgery to begin his long recovery.
