Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs will make his third Martinsville Speedway NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start this Friday night. In his two previous starts at the famed short-track, Riggs has one top-15 and one top-10, finishing 15th in the NCTS April visit and sixth in the November race in his 2024 rookie season.
After partnering with Riggs during his 2024 rookie season, Infinity Communications will return to sponsor Riggs and the No. 34 Ford F-150 for the 200-lap event. The wireless telecom company played a key role in Riggs’ 2024 Sunoco Rookie of the Year campaign, helping Riggs capture four top-10 finishes.
With a diverse portfolio of expertise and strategically positioned facilities nationwide, Infinity Communications can meet all the needs of major wireless providers. From network configuration to network recovery, Infinity Communications’ services are actively expanding and introducing new cutting-edge technologies to the world of wireless communication.
“Infinity Communications is excited to continue our partnership with Front Row Motorsports and Layne Riggs for the 2025 season,” said Jeff Coffey, Owner, Infinity Communications. “While our role is different this year, our commitment to supporting Layne and his team remains the same. Layne is a talented driver with a bright future, and we’re proud to be a part of his journey. We look forward to seeing him continue to excel on the track this season!”
With a second-place finish last Friday night at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, Riggs is on a two-race streak of finishing in the top-five and now sits eighth in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Driver Championship points standings. Cutting his teeth in the local short-track scene, Riggs and the No. 34 team view the Martinsville Speedway as a track that they can earn their first win of the 2025 season.
“Martinsville is by far one of my favorite tracks,” said Riggs. “The beating and banging, door to door racing is what I grew up on, and I just feel comfortable at the short tracks. It’s going to start with qualifying if we want to leave with a good result. Martinsville is a tough track to pass at and it takes a lot of discipline to get around. I’m confident in myself and the team, though. We have a good streak going of top-five finishes and I want to continue that this weekend. It’s great to have Infinity Communications back on board this Friday. Jeff Coffey has been a long time supporter of my career and I’d like to pay him back with a checkered flag.
