Racing career

Early career

Honeyman would first get his start racing quads at the age of two and would rise through the ranks to International Trophy Karts at the age of four. For three years, he would then make starts in Jr. Trucks and Off Road Jr. Trucks, winning three championships in the off-road series. On his eighth birthday, he would race his first go-kart race, winning three championships. [1]

In 2017, he would win the Bandolero championship in INEX. [2]

In 2021, he would finish runner up to Nick Loden for the championship in the Carolina Pro Late Model Series. [3]

He also competed in the CARS Tour.

ARCA Menards Series East

On January 28, 2022, Honeyman was announced to race full-time for Young's Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series East that year, driving the No. 02. [4] He earned five top tens throughout the season, and finished 3rd in the points standings.

NASCAR Truck Series

Along with the January 28 announcement, he announced that he would attempt to make his first start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in late 2022. [5] He made his debut at Bristol Motor Speedway, starting 31st and finishing 29th.

NASCAR Xfinity Series

On December 30, 2022, Alpha Prime Racing announced that Honeyman will join the organization part-time in the 2023 season, driving the 45 car. [6] He made his debut at Phoenix Raceway, qualifying 23rd and finished 27th. He followed with two 25th-place finishes at Richmond and Martinsville. At Portland, Honeyman qualified 21st, but was replaced mid-race by Brad Perez, after suffering from food poisoning during the first stage. Perez ran inside the top 15 until the final corner, after getting punted into tire barriers by Josh Williams, resulting in a 28th place finish. Since Honeyman started the race, he is officially credited with the finish. At Sonoma, Honeyman drove the 35 for Emerling-Gase Motorsports, in which he failed to qualify. In the race at Kansas in September, Honeyman failed to qualify driving Alpha Prime's No. 44 car, but the team worked a deal with MBM Motorsports to replace Timmy Hill in their No. 66 car, which did qualify for the race. [7]

On January 3, 2024, it was announced that Young's Motorsports would expand to the Xfinity Series in 2024, fielding the No. 42 with Honeyman driving the car full-time. [8] At Talladega, Honeyman scored a top 5, his first, with a 4th place finish.
