Layne Riggs Key Takeaways

“Definitely a lot to unpack after today,” said Riggs. “Kaden (Honeycutt) and I had a great battle going on until we got ran over on that restart and took a ton of damage. From there, we had a lot of miscues on pit road swapping out the battery and were never able to get all of our laps back. It’s unfortunate, but that’s racing. We’ll regroup and come back stronger at North Wilkesboro.”

“From the start, we weren’t great,” said Smith. “I felt like it would have gotten better as the race went on, but we never got that chance when the axle seal broke and then the drive shaft. We rarely have mechanical issues, so I’m not worried about this happening next week, just an unfortunate end to our day this week.”
