Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs is back in action, this weekend in Lakeville, Connecticut, at Lime Rock Park. Riggs enters the 100-lap event coming off of his last lap win at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego just two weeks ago. Through the first 13 races of the season, Riggs has earned four wins, seven top-five, and eight top-10 finishes, to position himself in the standings lead with a 65-point buffer to Kaden Honeycutt. Riggs has one previous NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start at the 1.53-mile road course, making his track debut in 2025 with Front Row Motorsports, where he qualified third and finished 13th.
This weekend, Wheelhouse Racing School will partner with Riggs and the No. 34 team. Founded in 2006, Wheelhouse Racing School has spent nearly two decades delivering world-class high-performance driving instruction and immersive vehicle experiences to over 60,000 participants through its programs.

Wheelhouse Racing School is excited to announce its partnership with Front Row Motorsports as the primary partner of the No. 34 Ford F-150 in this weekend race at Lime Rock Park. This collaboration highlights their commitment to performance and excellence in motorsports. “At Wheelhouse, our passion for competition, driver development, and creating unforgettable motorsports experiences drives everything we do,” said Dan McKeever, owner of Wheelhouse Racing School. “Partnering with Front Row Motorsports and supporting Layne Riggs at Lime Rock Park is a perfect fit for our brand. We are proud to work with a team and driver that share our commitment to performance, preparation, and achieving success at the highest levels of racing.”
“I’m living the best years of my life right now,” said Riggs. “Me, Dylan (Cappello), and the road and pit crew are really meshing and hitting our stride. Things are great, and the momentum continues to build after each race. I’m looking forward to Lime Rock, and welcoming Wheelhouse Racing School to our team. Outside of Watkins Glen, we are undefeated at road course, so we’re confident heading into Saturday.”
