Layne Riggs Notes

Layne Riggs will take the No. 34 Ford F-150 to the high banks of the Bristol Motor Speedway looking to extend Front Row Motorsports’ dominate win streak at “The Last Great Coliseum”. In the last three NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series events at the 0.5-mile Tennessee track, Front Row Motorsports has brought home the checkered flag in all three events, with Riggs bringing home the trophy in Fall 2024 and Fall 2025 (and teammate Chandler Smith bringing home the trophy last Spring). In his four starts at the track, Riggs hasn’t finished outside of the top-10.

Love’s Travel Stops returns with Riggs and the No. 34 team for Friday’s race.

“As an organization, we’re all excited for Bristol,” said Riggs. “There’s just something about that track we have figured out that has made us so dominant. I feel like we left Rockingham in a good spot. We made the most of the day by executing throughout the entire race to score points in both stages and come home with a strong result. You need days like that in order to win a championship, but we want the win at Bristol even more to extend Front Row’s streak.”

Chandler Smith Notes

“We took a big hit last week to our points lead, but there’s no better place to make up those points than Bristol Motor Speedway,” said Smith. “It’s a great feeling walking into a track where not just you and your team dominate, but the whole organization. Hopefully, I can bring home another sword and trophy.”
