Layne Riggs Notes
After a five-year hiatus, the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is set to return to the Michigan International Speedway this weekend. The two-mile track is an important one for Ford with the car manufacturer’s headquarters located a little over an hour from the track.
The No. 34 Ford F-150 will showcase the CLEW Nicotine Pouch brand in multiple races throughout the 2025 season, starting this weekend at Michigan. In addition to their primary races, CLEW will serve as a full season associate throughout the season.
Crafted by Nevcore Innovations, CLEW delivers lasting satisfaction with an ultra-smooth mouthfeel that sets a new standard in the industry. Each can contains 20 pouches, offering a convenient and discreet way to enjoy your nicotine wherever, whenever. Now entering into a partnership with Riggs and Front Row Motorsports, CLEW will introduce their line of pouches to the NASCAR world. Learn more about CLEW at www.clewpouches.com.
“Our team has a lot of momentum right now and that makes us hungrier for a win,” said Riggs. “Our trucks are fast, but we need to be better about executing on pit road in order to win. Michigan is the home of Ford, so I definitely want to perform well in their home race, and it would be great to get CLEW in Victory Lane in their first race. There is a lot of synergy between NASCAR and nicotine, so I am looking forward to promoting the CLEW brand to our fans. They have a great product with a ton of flavors.”

Chandler Smith Notes
Chandler Smith will make his second Michigan International Speedway NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start this Saturday afternoon. Finishing seventh at the Nashville Superspeedway last Friday night, Smith and the No. 38 team head to Ford’s home track with strong momentum and looking for their third win of the season. Long John Silver’s will partner with Riggs for the 125-lap event.
Following the Nashville Superspeedway event, Smith is now third in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings. Through the first 12 races of the season, Smith has scored two wins, four top-five, and eight top-10 finishes.
“This is an important weekend for Ford, I definitely want to represent their brand well at their home track,” said Smith. “We struggled a little last week and dropped in the points standings, but I think we can regain that position this week. I’m excited for the weekend.”
