NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Championship Race Driver Grades: How Every Driver Scored at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Nov 06, 2026 · 2 min read·

Every driver from the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, graded on what the scoring loops actually recorded: where they started, where they finished, how many laps they led, and whether they were still running at the end. Kaden Honeycutt grades out best with a A+.

How the grades are calculated

The grade is a formula, not an opinion. Each driver starts from their finishing position, gains credit for passing cars and for leading laps, and loses credit for not finishing:

  • Finish: the single biggest factor, scaled from the win down through the field.
  • Positions gained: starting position minus finishing position, capped so a deep starting spot cannot buy a top grade on its own.
  • Laps led: share of the race led, worth up to a full letter grade.
  • Did not finish: a fixed penalty if they were not running at the checkered flag.
