Layne Riggs Notes
It’s another northeast race for Layne Riggs and the No. 34 team as the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series heads to the Dover Motor Speedway on Friday for a 200-lap race on the one-mile circuit. Following last Friday’s race at Watkins Glen International, Riggs is third in the standings.

“Even though we already have a win this season and have had a couple of good results since then, we still aren’t where we need to be in order to compete for a championship,” said Riggs. “We really need to put together a streak of solid finishes to regain momentum. We have to minimize mistakes and double check that we’re doing everything right so we can put ourselves into position to be in the hunt.”
“Dover was always my dad’s favorite track, but it was also the scariest track for him when the truck or car wasn’t dialed in. This is going to be my first time here, so this week’s race prep and Friday’s practice session are going to be extra crucial for the team and me.”

Chandler Smith Notes
Coming off of a fifth place run at Watkins Glen International, Chandler Smith and the No. 38 team prepare to keep the top-10 streak going at the Dover Motor Speedway. While this will only be Smith’s second NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start at Dover, he brings experience into Friday’s race from his three NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts at the track. Smith has one top-10 finish at the track in the feeder series, finishing seventh in 2024 with Joe Gibbs Racing. Going into Friday’s race, Smith is second in the standings, just 29 points behind leader Kaden Honeycutt.
The No. 38 team will sport a returning brand on their Ford F-150 as the Pete Store joins Smith at Dover. A three-time Peterbilt North American Dealer of the Year (2004, 2016, and 2018), The Pete Store is a respected dealer in the transportation industry with locations spanning the eastern United States. The Pete Store offers sales, services, leasing, parts, and financing of Peterbilt trucks. Fans can learn more at www.ThePeteStore.com.
“Dover is a beast of its own,” said Smith. “Things happen so fast there. It reminds me of a slightly larger Bristol with its high banking and high speeds where you always have to be thinking of your next move. We’re 29 points short of the lead in the standings, but we’re still in the hunt. We just have to continue to cross our ‘t’s and dot our ‘i’s, and we’ll have the lead in no time.”
