Stewart Friesen's race recap in the Truck Chase race at Kansas in 2026
Check out Stewart Friesen's race recap in the NASCAR Truck Series Chase race at Kansas Speedway during the 2026 season.
Stewart Friesen's Kansas Truck Chase race experience took an unexpected turn from a strong start, resulting in a 21st-place finish. The veteran driver began the event in sixth position, displaying enough speed to stay near the front during the opening segment. The No. 52 Toyota led the field early, with Kaden Honeycutt taking the lead.
Despite Friesen maintaining the lead lap and sidestepping some incidents, he was unable to regain the speed he had initially shown. He ultimately fell 15 positions, earning 16 points for the race. With a total of 465 points, Friesen did not secure a Chase qualification, currently standing 12th in the season standings. He trails Jake Garcia by 36 points and leads Justin Haley by a 53-point margin.
Although Kansas did not impact his non-Chase points position, it presented a missed opportunity after starting inside the third row of the starting grid.
