Frontstretch Line of the Week "A lot of it had to do with Tyler. Tyler called me, it was like early December, and he was like, ‘Do you want to do Xfinity for me full
time?’ "And I’m like, ‘Nah, you’re joking.’ "And he was serious, and I showed up to the shop and he had Xfinity cars there and we started talking more. We had a contract signed, I think it was right after Christmas or right before Christmas. But it was a really good
deal." - Leland Honeyman, on how his ride in the NASCAR Xfinity Series came together for this season. |
