AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Kaden Honeycutt was the victor in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race that flew by as fast as the wind Friday at Phoenix Raceway. 

Honeycutt led the final 53 laps and won by a 1.556-second margin of victory over Christian Eckes. The win moved Honeycutt to 39 points ahead of Layne Riggs for the championship.

"We go to Talladega next week so, that could flip on its head pretty quickly. My mentality is to finish and not wreck myself because you can lose so many positions trying to go for the win," Honeycutt said. "If I see something going on in the final stage, I'll bail." 

Riggs finished third and lost 22 points after finishing second and fourth in the stages. His crew had a slow pit stop during the first stage break that he never recovered from. 

TOP-10 FINISHERS (LAP 150): Kaden Honeycutt, Christian Eckes, Layne Riggs, Ty Majeski, Jake Garcia, William Sawalich, Daniel Hemric, Gio Ruggiero, Grant Enfinger, Brent Crews. 

Chase drivers outside of the top-10 were Tyler Ankrum (13th), Chandler Smith (15th) and Ben Rhodes (21st). 

Smith is the closest championship competitor to Honeycutt and Riggs. However, after a possible hole in the nose and a penalty for having too many men over the wall during a pit stop, he is now 117 points out of the lead and behind Eckes, who is now 112 points back. 

Rhodes finished 21st after a flat right-rear tire that ended the second stage under caution. It was the only caution for cause in an otherwise caution-free race.

STAGE ONE TOP-10 (LAP 45): Ty Majeski, Layne Riggs, Landen Lewis, Kaden Honeycutt, Chandler Smith, Christian Eckes, Ben Rhodes, Tanner Gray, Gio Ruggiero, Jake Garcia.

Majeski took the lead from Riggs on the final lap of the stage. Worse yet, Riggs's crew had a slower stop that set him back to third and then fourth behind Eckes on the restart. 

Further back, Gray and Andres Perez made contact at the start of the second stage, dropping Gray off of the lead lap.

The rest of the stage went caution-free with Majeski in control and Riggs almost getting to Eckes. Then, on the final lap of the stage, the caution flew for Rhodes dropping a right-rear tire carcass on the track. 

STAGE TWO TOP-10 (LAP 90): Ty Majeski, Kaden Honeycutt, Christian Eckes, Layne Riggs, Gio Ruggiero, Landen Lewis, Ben Rhodes, Jake Garcia, Chandler Smith, Daniel Hemric.

Lewis dropped back to 19th after having an unscheduled stop for the crew to look under the hood of his truck. He finished 16th in the race, behind Smith who caught the penalty at this point.

Majeski swept the first two stages but the final stage wasn't as kind. Entering the final stage, he was third behind Stewart Friesen on two fresh tires and Honeycutt, also on four. Friesen dropped outside of the top-10 on the strategy and finished 19th. 

Honeycutt now has four wins this season. He also won at Watkins Glen, Richmond Raceway and earlier in the Chase at Kansas Speedway.

Last year's winner was Gio Ruggiero. Chandler Smith won at Daytona International Speedway in February.
