Layne Riggs Notes

Layne Riggs and the No. 34 team are back in action this Friday, April 3 as the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series heads to the Rockingham Speedway. Following a 12th place finish at the Darlington Raceway, Riggs now sits third in the Driver Championship points standings. In last year’s event at the 1.0-mile track, Riggs swept both stage one and two before crossing the start/finish line in 11th.

Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) returns with Layne Riggs this Friday at the Rockingham Speedway. The partnership marks Bare Knuckle Boxing’s continued support of Riggs as he builds momentum early in the Truck Series season, aligning one of combat sports’ fastest-growing brands with one of the sport’s rising young drivers. Originating in South Florida with combat sports legend Dada 5000 and Mike Vazquez (who in 1999 formed HRT Motorsports, NASCAR’s first Hispanic racing team), BKB is the oldest professional bare knuckle boxing company in the world and its largest in terms of roster, library and distribution. BKB is broadcasted in millions of homes across the globe. Fans can learn more about BKB by visiting https://www.bkbbareknuckle.com/.

Lorawnt-T Nelson will be in attendance this Friday to promote the upcoming Bare Knuckle Boxing event, “The Harder They Fall”. The match is scheduled for April 17th and will take place at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. Fans can watch on VICE TV and Telemundo Desportes in the US, and in the UK with TalkSport.

“We’re confident in our chances at Rockingham,” said Riggs. “We showed a lot of speed in the test, which gives us a lot of optimism for Friday. We had a dominant truck here last year and just came up short on fuel at the end. If we can put a full race together, I know we’re capable of getting it done.”

Chandler Smith Notes

Chandler Smith heads to the Rockingham Speedway for 200 laps at the Richmond County, NC oval. Through the first four races of the season, Smith has scored one win, two top-five, and three top-10 finishes and currently leads the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings.

QuickTie™ will return with Chandler Smith and the No. 38 team this Friday. The patented structural tie-down system continues its partnership with Front Row Motorsports, supporting Smith and the No. 38 Ford F-150 as he builds on early-season momentum.

“We’re in a strong position leading the points standings, and with a solid run-or a win-this Friday, we have a great opportunity to build on that lead,” said Smith. “With the Chase format, it’s all about maximizing points throughout the race, not just the finish. Our focus is on starting up front, scoring in both stages, and putting together a complete race to bring home a strong result.”

ABOUT BARE KNUCKLE BOXING

Originating in South Florida as BYB Extreme with Mike Vazquez and backyard legend Dada 5000, whose backyard fights gained worldwide popularity online, BKB was founded to harness the excitement of bare knuckle fighting into a more structured product for a wider, more mainstream audience. Since 2015, BBB has worked diligently to grow the reach of bare knuckle on both a domestic and international level, and is continuing to work with athletic commissions throughout the United States and globally to expand the fanbase growing sport of bare knuckle fighting. In the past two years, BKB has purchased the UK-based BKB, the world’s oldest professional bare knuckle boxing company, and in doing so merged the organizations to create the largest global bare knuckle boxing organization in the world in terms of roster, library and distribution; ushered in ethical and legalized gambling to the sport; acquired the rights to the historic and prestigious Police Gazette Diamond Belt which now serves as the Bare Knuckle Boxing World Championship; and brought bare knuckle boxing to lineal television on both sides of the Atlantic, including the recent deal with VICE TV and Telemundo Desportes in the US, and in the UK with TalkSport.
