Layne Riggs Notes

After a week off, Layne Riggs and the No. 34 team are back in action this weekend at the Pocono Raceway. Following the race at the Michigan International Speedway, Layne Riggs is sixth in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Driver Championship points standings.

Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) will serve as the primary partner of Riggs and the No. 34 Ford F-150 team. Originating in South Florida with combat sports legend Dada 5000 and Mike Vazquez (who in 1999 formed HRT Motorsports, NASCAR’s first Hispanic racing team), BKB is the oldest professional bare knuckle boxing company in the world and its largest in terms of roster, library and distribution. BKB is broadcasted in millions of homes across the globe, including a recent groundbreaking live television deal with VICE TV in North America.

“My experience in Pocono last season was disappointing, so I have somewhat of a chip on my shoulder heading into this weekend,” said Riggs. “We have shown a lot of speed this season and have been in contention for wins, but we need to execute better on pit road in order to bring home the checkered flag. Overall, we’re in a good spot as a team right now, so I know our time is coming.”

Chandler Smith Notes

The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series takes Chandler Smith and the No. 38 team to Long Pond, Pennsylvania for an 80-lap battle at the Pocono Raceway. The “Tricky Triangle” is a familiar track for Smith, who captured the checkered flag for Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2022.

Through the first 13 races of the season, Smith has earned two wins, four top-five, and nine top-10 finishes. Following the race at the Michigan International Raceway, Smith is second in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings.

“They don’t call Pocono the ‘Tricky Triangle’ for nothing,” said Smith. “It’s a challenging track where even the smallest of mistakes can end your day, but I like that kind of pressure. Overall, we have had a really good season so far, especially with how fast we put this team together. I think we have what it takes to win this Friday.”
