Layne Riggs Notes
The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is back in action this Friday with the series heading to the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Following the race at the Bristol Motor Speedway on April 10th, Layne Riggs is fourth in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings, just four points behind points leader and teammate, Chandler Smith.
Aaron’s Rent to Own will bring their iconic Lucky Dog scheme to the No. 34 Ford F-150. The nostalgic Lucky Dog design carries a rich history in NASCAR and has been piloted by multiple race winners and championship contenders, making it one of the most recognizable and celebrated paint schemes in the sport.
“The team and I have had a few weeks to regroup and refocus, so I know we’re going to come out swinging in Texas,” said Riggs. “I have a love/hate relationship with the Texas Motor Speedway. As a racecar driver, it’s a super fun track to race at, but on the other hand, it’s very challenging to navigate. There’s not a lot of room for error, but I know were capable of locking in and putting together a full race.”

Chandler Smith Notes
Chandler Smith will make his fifth Texas Motor Speedway Truck Series start this Friday night. In his four previous truck starts at the 1.5-mile track, Smith has a career best finish of fifth. The 23-year-old driver also has two starts at the track in the O’Reilly Auto Parts series. His best finish came in the 2023 event where he started ninth and finished fourth. Following a second-place finish at the Bristol Motor Speedway on April 10th, Smith is back to leading the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings.
The Speedy Cash branding will join a different No. 38 this Friday night, partnering with Chandler Smith and the No. 38 Ford F-150 team for the 167-lap race. Smith will run the same scheme that Front Row Motorsports Cup Series driver, Zane Smith, will run on Sunday. Part of the Community Choice Financial Family of Brands, Speedy Cash is an omni-channel lender that specializes in short-term and medium-term secured and unsecured loan products.
“I have always enjoyed Forth Worth,” said Smith. “It’s a cool town and the track produces some great racing. We recaptured the point’s lead, but not by a whole lot. We need to continue to maximize our points gained with strong stage finishes and race results. We have some good tracks coming up this month, and I think we can continue to lead the standings if we keep our heads down and grind.”
