No. 38 Love’s RV Stops Ford F-150:

DRIVER LAYNE RIGGS:

“There’s a lot of pressure going into this race, especially with Zane (Smith) winning it two years in a row. But I know our truck will be fast and I have full faith in this 38 group.”

“We have a great group of guys on this team, and under the leadership of Dylan (Cappello), I see no reason why we can’t go out there and be competitive.”

CREW CHIEF DYLAN CAPPELLO:

“Yeah, like Layne said, there’s a lot of pressure, but I’ve been here before. This is what we have worked all off season towards, and now it’s time to just go out there and start the season off with a bang.”
