Layne Riggs Notes
Coming off of their Charlotte Motor Speedway win, Layne Riggs and the No. 34 team look ahead to the Nashville Superspeedway for the venue’s 150-lap race. In three previous NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts at the 1.3-mile oval, Riggs’ best finish came in the 2025 event, finishing third. Heading into Friday’s race, Riggs is second in the standings, just 11 points behind leader Kaden Honeycutt.

“Winning at Charlotte was an unbelievable feeling, that’s our home race,” said Riggs. “We’re heading into Nashville with a ton of momentum, and just 11 points from leading the standings, so it would be awesome to knock down another win and grab that lead. Nashville is a challenging track, but our mile and mile-and-a-half program has really picked up this season so I know Front Row Motorsports will bring a fast track, it’s just a matter of minimizing mistakes and being there in the end.”

“Charlotte didn’t go as planned, and as a result we dropped a little bit in the standings, but there was a lot of positives to take away from that race,” said Smith. “Our mile-and-a-half program is getting stronger. It gives me a lot more confidence heading into Nashville knowing that our shop is churning out fast Fords that can be there in the end in any given race. I made a mistake on my end, in Charlotte, but all I can do is put that race behind me and take full advantage of the opportunities ahead, in Nashville.”
