“Honesty, it just wasn’t in the Lord’s Will for us tonight, but, nevertheless, I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to come out with this No. 38 QuickTie Products Ford F-150 group,” said Smith. “Everybody at Front Row Motorsports has been working hard. We obviously had a little bit of a mishap last week, but we had a good result and got it taken away. This week, we backed it up with another great result. I’m just thankful for the Good Lord above and thankful for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to Texas.”

Layne Riggs Key Takeaways

Stage One: 2nd / Stage Two: 10th / Race Result: 22nd

“There was nothing I could do to avoid that wreck,” said Riggs. “We were going so fast into the corner. I had my brakes locked up trying to stop, so it’s definitely disappointing that we got wrecked, but, at the same time, I felt like we were close today and within striking distance from a win. We just didn’t quite have that maneuverability and speed that I had here in the fall race. I don’t know if that’s the difference in prep and not really trying to compensate for it like we needed to, or it was more of a setup thing. We were close. I mean, we ran second for a lot of the day and then once we got buried back in traffic, I was just not good at all. I really struggled, but when you get back with the squirrels, you get hit with a nut. That’s just part of it, but it was a good job to everybody at Front Row Motorsports for getting me back on the track. We completed all the laps and that’s what makes champions.”
