“P3 at the Rock to get Bare Knuckle Boxing a podium finish,” said Riggs. “Overall, it was a great day. I felt like we were a fifth to 10th place truck, we just couldn’t quite get the track position and balance where I wanted it, but Dylan (Cappello) and the team gave me the proper adjustments to help me finish strong. Really happy with everything. We need these strong, solid days to get a title.”

“Man, what a race,” said Smith. “Started dead last and ended up driving up to 4th. Truck was pretty good, just a game of track position all race. Unfortunate what happened following post-race inspection but we’re going keep chipping away with our heads up headed to Bristol.”
