Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs is back in action this Friday night, and at a track where he has proven himself, the Bristol Motor Speedway. The Tennessee track holds a special place in Riggs and Crew Chief Dylan Cappello’s hearts, serving as the venue for the duos second career win together in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series in September of 2024 and going back-to-back in the series’ playoffs. Love’s RV Stop will join Riggs for the event and hope to return to the speedway’s Victory Lane Friday night.
Following the 200-lap event at the Martinsville Speedway, Riggs sits 8th in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Driver Championship points standings. With just two previous starts at the Bristol Motor Speedway, Riggs has two top-10 finishes, finishing 10th in March of 2024 and first in September of 2024.
“Bristol is my favorite track,” said Riggs. “I had two great runs there last season, and I know myself and the team have what it takes to win. We’re in a really good spot as a team. We’re still looking for our first win of the season, but I know it’s coming soon, hopefully this weekend.”

Chandler Smith Notes
Chandler Smith and Quicktie reunite this weekend at the Bristol Motor Speedway for the sixth race on the schedule for the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. Third in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings, Smith heads to the Volunteer State with heavy momentum from his fourth-place finish at the Martinsville Speedway.
In his four previous truck starts at the track, Smith has one win, three top-five, and four top-10 finishes. Smith’s Xfinity Series results are as equally impressive, racking in two top-five finishes at the track with a third-place finish with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024 and a fifth-place finish with Kaulig Racing in 2023.
“Bristol is one of those places I’m super confident in my abilities to bring a trophy back home,” said Smith. “Our guys have been working hard and bring fast trucks to the track each week, and I think we’re close to these Top Tens turning into wins. Bristol would be a heck of a place for that to start.”
