Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs will make his second Texas Motor Speedway NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start this Friday night. Coming off a dominate performance at the Rockingham Speedway which saw the driver sweep the first two stages, Riggs is now fifth in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings.
The Aaron’s “Lucky Dog” will return this season, bringing the fan-favorite scheme to Riggs’ No. 34 Ford F-150. The Lucky Dog scheme has a deep-rooted, nostalgic history in NASCAR, having been driven by David Reutimann, Brian Vickers, Michael McDowell, Michael Waltrip, and many more.
“I think the team and I are in a great spot heading into Texas,” said Riggs. “The speed is there, but we need to work on our execution in order to win. Heading into this weekend, I’m confident in our ability to execute and have strong start to this stretch of races.”

I haven’t won at Texas, but I have a lot of confidence there, especially with the group I have behind me. Hopefully, I can take the Speedy Cash Ford F-150 to Speedy Cash Victory Lane and come home with another trophy.”
