Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs and the No. 34 team face the Martinsville Speedway this weekend. Friday night’s race serves as the cutoff race for the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Round of 8 with Riggs six points below the cutline. In three previous Truck Series starts at the track, Riggs has one top-10 and three top-15 finishes with a career best finish of sixth (November 2024).
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, in Spanish as a flagship program on NBC Universal’s Telemundo Deportes Ahora, and in the UK on TalkSport.

“We’re below the cutline heading into Martinsville, but we’re not feeling any extra pressure,” said Riggs. “Our approach hasn’t changed—we’re focused on bringing a fast Ford F-150, executing on all fronts, and controlling what we can control. I know we’ll have the speed to contend for the win, but execution will be the key to whether we advance to Phoenix to compete for the championship. If we can stay clean and minimize mistakes, I believe we’ll put ourselves in a great position to make the Final Four.”
