Kaden Honeycutt to fill in for injured Stewart Friesen during playoffs

Just a couple of weeks ago, this headline wouldn't have made any sense, and yet, it is happening. When Stewart Friesen was seriously injured in a dirt modified crash, the No. 52 Halmar-Friesen Racing Toyota needed to find a replacement driver as the team is set to take part in the championship playoffs. Enter Kaden Honeycutt, who was abruptly let go from his full-time ride at Niece Motorsports this week for signing with a rival team and manufacturer for 2026 (believed to be TRICON and Toyota). Honeycutt is also bound for playoffs, sitting 73 points above the cut-line. While Christopher Bell will drive the No. 52 at Watkins Glen, Halmar-Friesen has announced a new partnership with Honeycutt for the rest of the 2025 season. Both will be be able to fight for the championship as a duo after one lost its driver and the other lost their ride. Stewart Friesen, Halmar-Friesen Racing Toyota Honeycutt's first race in the No. 52 will be at Richmond Raceway next weekend, which serves as the regular season finale for the NASCAR Truck Series. "While I continue to recover, it was important for us to put someone in our truck that can help us compete at the highest level," said Friesen. "I know Kaden will deliver strong performance in our truck and allow us to continue to run for the owner's championship." Honeycutt has not yet win in the Truck Series, but he has been solid, currently sitting sixth in the championship standings. "It's an honor to be able to fill in for Stewart for the rest of the season and help give his team a chance at the owner's championship, which they earned. I'm excited to compete in contending, race-winning equipment as I pursue a title this season," said Honeycutt. "We are going to work hard to have a solid final eight races of the season and continue to deliver great results for Stewart, his family and this organization."

Amazon has had a strong second quarter due to its growth in North America and International divisions.

What to Watch Ahead of Disney Q3 Earnings

Disney (NYSE:DIS) reports third-quarter results for fiscal 2025 before the market opens on August 6. Consensus estimates call for adjusted EPS of approximately $1.45 on revenue of $23.7 billion, implying modest 2% top-line growth YoY. The stock is up 4% year-to-date and trades roughly 7% below its 52-week high of $124.70. Investor attention will focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) margins and subscriber momentum. In Q2, Disney's DTC segment generated $336 million in operating income, up from $47 million a year earlier and added 1.4 million Disney+ subscribers. Subscriber stability and continued margin expansion will be key focus areas, as investors assess whether Disney's cost discipline is translating into lasting DTC profitability. The Experiences segment (theme parks and cruises) continues to perform well. Q2 experiences operating income rose 8% YoY to $2.5 billion, with investors assessing whether gating capacity or rising costs could pressure margins in Q3. Investors may also listen for commentary on recent releases such as Snow White and Fantastic Four, as sentiment around Disney's film strategy has been mixed and studio margins remain under pressure. With forward guidance unchanged ($5.75 adjusted EPS full year) and streaming margins expected to contribute more in H2, Disney's Q3 commentary will be critical. Management will need to demonstrate both streaming discipline and theme park profitability to support the current valuation. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
