DRIVER LAYNE RIGGS:
“This weekend couldn’t have come any sooner. Words can’t describe how excited I am to race at Martinsville. Growing up in the late model scene, Martinsville was like the Daytona 500 for short-track racing. I know Dylan (Cappello) and the team will bring me a fast Infinity Communications Ford F-150, I just have to put it to the test and hone in on that grassroots mentality.”
CREW CHIEF DYLAN CAPPELLO:
“This is Layne’s (Riggs) bread and butter, there’s no other driver I would want behind the wheel. We’ve had been preparing for months to make sure we’re bringing him the best of the best and making sure we dot our “I’s” and cross our “T’s”. It’s go time!”
