Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs is back in action this weekend at the Darlington Raceway following a two-week break in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

“Knocking down the first win of the season is a big weight off of everyone’s chest, it’s a huge confidence booster,” said Riggs. “I have always enjoyed the challenge that Darlington brings. We have qualified well there in the past, but we can’t seem to put together a full race, it’s a place where there’s not much room for error. We’re excited to get back to racing, though, and I know this team will come out swinging.”

Chandler Smith Notes
Chandler Smith and the No. 38 team take on the “Track Too Tough to Tame” this weekend as the Truck Series rolls into the Darlington Raceway. Entering Friday’s event, Smith leads the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings and looks to extend his streak of top-10 finishes to four. In four NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts at the 1.366-mile track, Smith has one top-10 and three top-12 finishes. In the Truck Series, Smith has five starts with one top-10 finish, finishing seventh in Fall 2021.
QuickTie™ will return with Chandler Smith and the No. 38 team this Friday. The patented structural tie-down system continues its partnership with Front Row Motorsports, supporting Smith and the No. 38 Ford F-150 as he builds on early-season momentum.
“Darlington is the kind of place where perfection matters, you can’t afford a single mistake, yet you still have to push the limits every lap,” said Smith. “Our whole organization is firing on all cylinders right now, and I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished. Hopefully, we can keep the momentum going and bring home a win at the ‘Track toTough to Tame.’”
