Montgomery, Alabama (November 9, 2026) — Most mainstream motorsports fans now know Kaden Honeycutt as a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion, but he had to start somewhere.
Many people know about Honeycutt’s Texas dirt racing roots, but Montgomery Motor Speedway and the Modifieds of Mayhem Tour have played an interesting part in the Honeycutt success story.
The 23-year-old racer has several short track accolades to his credit, and a lot of his success in the deep south pavement world can be traced back to John Bolen, another notable short track wheelman. Honeycutt drove Bolen’s no. 2 late model at the age of 14, almost ten years ago. That pairing set Honeycutt up for a tremendous amount of success down the road in regards to short track racing in the deep south and beyond.
Flash forward almost a decade and Honeycutt has now won some of the most prestigious short track events in America. The Texas native is a Snowball Derby winner and a CARS Tour Pro Late Model champion, with several other marquee short track victories to his name. His success at Montgomery in particular is especially recent, as 2026 treated Honeycutt very well whenever he visited Alabama’s House of Speed.
Honeycutt has competed in the Alabama 200 at Mongomery on multiple occasions, driving for a variety of teams. Most recently, Honeycutt competed in the 2026 Alabama 200 with JC Motorsports. He didn’t win the Alabama 200 that night back in March, but he did take home a victory in the Modifieds of Mayhem ‘Hunt for the Bear 62’ that evening at Montgomery.
Honeycutt then went on to win the next Modifieds of Mayhem event, also at Montgomery. The ‘Rumble by the River 50’ stands as Honeycutt’s most recent Modifieds of Mayhem victory but perhaps not his most notable.
Yes, Honeycutt is most notably a Snowball Derby winner in Super Late Models, but he has multiple other victories during Snowball Derby week that he can take credit for. One such victory came in the 2025 Modifieds of Mayhem ‘Snowball Derby 75’. His ability to adapt and succeed in almost any kind of short track setting is one of his biggest strengths, and his success with the Modifieds of Mayhem Tour is proof of that.
Honeycutt’s 2026 season has been one for the history books, and while he’s now coming off of a statement weekend in Miami, we can point to Montgomery Motor Speedway and the Modifieds of Mayhem Tour as stepping stones along his journey.
