Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs and the No. 34 team are back in action this weekend as the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series heads to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway with hopes of cashing in on their first win of the 2025 season. Love’s RV Stop will join Riggs for the 134-lap event at the 1.5-mile intermediate track.
Through two races at the Daytona International Speedway and the Atlanta Motor Speedway, Riggs sits 13th in the Driver Championship points standings and is just eight points from the top-10. Riggs and the team look to close the points gap this weekend and hope to notch a win at the Las Vegas, Nevada track to lock themselves into the 2025 playoffs.
“The few weeks off were nice, but I’m ready to get back behind the wheel,” said Riggs. “I think we can have a good run at Vegas. We really improved our mile-and-a-half program during the second half of the last season, so were in a good spot heading into this weekend. We’re approaching some tracks I’ve already seen before, so I expect to perform well and rack up some points.”

Chandler Smith’s Notes
Chandler Smith is back in action with the fan-favorite Long John Silver’s scheme this weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Through the first two races of the 2025 season, Smith sits third in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Driver Championship points standings and is just six points behind points leader Grant Enfinger.
Statistically, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway has proven to be a good track for Smith, earning four top-five finishes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and one win in 2022 in his previous NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series stint with Kyle Busch Motorsports.
“Vegas is a great track for me and it’s definitely one of my favorites,” said Smith. “I’ve lead laps, earned stage points, and have even won at Vegas, so our expectation is to win and lock ourselves into the playoffs.”
