Layne Riggs Notes
The Kansas Speedway is up next for Layne Riggs and the No. 34 Ford F-150 team. After winning back-to-back races at the Milwaukee Mile (8/25) and Bristol Motor Speedway (9/19) in 2024, Riggs came close to earning his third career NASCAR Cup Series win in back-to-back-to-back races after finishing second in the series’ Fall visit to the 1.5-mile, Kansas City, Kansas speedway.

“Texas didn’t go as planned, but Kansas provides a good opportunity for this team to rebound,” said Riggs. “I’m really happy with how our mile-and-a-half program looks right now. It’s a good feeling knowing that we can be in contention every race, but we still need to execute and limit our mistakes.”

Chandler Smith Notes
Chandler Smith and Long John Silver’s reunite this Saturday night for 134 laps at the Kansas Speedway. This will be Smith’s fifth NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at the Kansas City, Kansas 1.5-mile speedway. In four previous starts, Smith has two top-five and three top-10 finishes. In the Xfinity Series, Smith has two starts with a career best finish of third at the track.
Following last week’s race at the Texas Motor Speedway, Smith remains second in the NCTS Driver Championship points standings and is just 46 points behind points leader, Corey Heim. Through the first eight races of the season, Smith hasn’t finished worse than 16th.
“Kansas has always been one of my favorite tracks,” said Smith. “Our result at Texas wasn’t what we wanted, but it’s a strong motivator heading into Kansas to cut into the points gap and come home with another trophy.”
