Everyone at Toyota TRD for giving me the tools to make the transition easier. Jimmy and those guys are unbelievable people such a small, really hard working group of people. And it also made it easier that Stewart was very, very much with the plan that we provided, so yeah, just thanks to Stewart, Mrs. Friesen, Chris Larson, Mohawk Northeast Halmar for you know believing in me to finish here out for them," Kayden Honeycutt said."So yeah definitely been easier, I think than most would probably anticipate for myself . You know everything is good on my end, you know friendship side, both sides so everything has been good regardless of what social media has said but it's just been a good transition for myself so it's very easy. Its all the people that made it easy," he added.The 22-year-old has managed to secure himself a spot in the playoffs.
