When success in motorsports starts coming at an early age, as low as 9, then it’s only a matter of time before the prodigious racer looks for various horizons to expand. And Chili Bowl racer Kaden Honeycutt is the perfect example of it. In 2012, he set foot in racing for the first time in the Bandolero Division and raked in several victories, something unexpected by such a young boy.
