Layne Riggs Notes
Layne Riggs will make his second Homestead-Miami Speedway NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start this Friday night. The Love's RV Stop colors will also return with Riggs and the No. 34 team for the 134-lap race.
Following a hard earned fifth-place finish at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Riggs now sits 11th in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings and is just three points from the 10th position. In his previous start and debut at the 1.5-mile speedway, Riggs finished 22nd and was on his way to a second-place finish before running out of fuel on the last lap.
"I'm looking forward to this weekend in Homestead," said Riggs. "Our mile-and-a-half program has really come together this year and we left Vegas with not only a top-five, but with a good baseline to continue our mile-and-a-half success. We're heading into this weekend looking to close in on the top-10 points positions and hopefully the win. The speed is there, we just need to execute."

Chandler Smith's Notes
Chandler Smith takes his race craft to South Beach and the Homestead-Miami Speedway this Friday night for the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at the 1.5-mile track. Long John Silver's will return to Smith's No. 38 Ford F-150 for the 134-lap event.
Cashing in an eighth-place finish at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Smith sits fourth in the Truck Series Driver Championship points standings and is just eight points behind points leader Ty Majeski. Through the first three races of the season, Smith has earned three top-10 finishes and has finished no worse than eighth.
In his previous NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, Smith has one top-10 finish, finishing 10th in 2022 with Kyle Busch Motorsports. In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Smith has three starts at the track, earning one top-10 finish in 2022 and the pole position in 2024.
"Homestead is such a fun track," said Smith. "I absolutely love ripping the fence and pushing the limits of my vehicle. We left Vegas a little disappointed, but we also left with a good baseline for out 1.5-mile program and some solid momentum heading into this weekend. I think we can leave Homestead with a lot of points and even a checkered flag."
