Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs heads west to the Phoenix Raceway for the NASCAR Truck Series season finale. In two previous Truck Series starts at the one-mile track, Riggs has two top-15 finishes, finishing 13th in 2022 and 10th in 2024. Heading into the final race of the season, the 23-year-old Bahama, North Carolina native has earned three wins, three poles, 12 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes this season. With this, Riggs made his first career playoff berth for the Truck Series, making it to the Round of 8 and barely missing out on the Championship Four by one point. While he won’t be racing for a Driver’s Championship, Riggs will battle for the Owner’s Championship on Friday.

“While we aren’t going for a Driver’s Championship this weekend, we still have the Owners Championship on the line,” said Riggs. “I really like Phoenix, and in my last two starts there, the results have been good. We want to end the season on a high note and bring Bob (Jenkins) that Owners Championship. It’s truly incredible what this team has done these last two seasons. This team has had my back since day one and the bond we have formed is something that I hold close to my heart. We have really stepped it up compared to 2024 and it’s only going to get better. I’m excited to see what the future holds.”
