Truck Star Plays Ultimate Spoiler, Bows Down to “Bada**” Crew Chief Amid Back to Back Playoff Domination

"I think it's going to be a good night for us." The No. 38 Ford Front Row Motorsports crew chief Dylan Cappello predicted ahead of the Truck playoff race in Bristol. Layne Riggs had the highest confidence to continue his late-season dominant streak. Despite his lack of a playoff spot, Riggs decided to emulate Chris Buescher at Watkins Glen.

He put in his ultimate playoff spoiler suit, and as his Truck Series rivals battled to stamp tickets into the Round of 8, his team paved the path for him.

Layne Riggs stuns fans with consecutive glory Just last month, the Truck Series witnessed former NASCAR star Scott Riggs' son bring his first win. Although he injured his arm in a celebratory frenzy, Layne Riggs had fixed himself on the victory path. He used his winner's charm at the Unoh 200 race at Bristol Motor Speedway , throwing a wrench in playoff drivers' plans. While Christian Eckes, Corey Heim, and Rajah Caruth got into a dogfight for runner-up, Riggs maintained a huge distance with them in the winner's spot.

In the post-race interview, Layne Riggs immediately oozed words of appreciation for his crew chief. "Oh my gosh. We have just learned so much with the cars and trucks. My team, my crew chief Dylan – he's bad**s. He works so hard." Then he went on to laud the No. 38 FRm team: "We're a young team. I think all the guys in the team – the average age is 20. So it's so amazing. To be running 5th, 10th, and going back-to-back in the playoffs – man, I wish I was in the playoffs so bad. It would have been really great to win this championship."

With the phenomenal assistance of his team and crew chief, Layne Riggs tackled the unique Bristol track. He anticipated the same amount of fun for the incoming Cup race. "I'm just a bad bug, that's what they said over the radio...Man, the drive was so fun tonight. I'm so glad they put the PJ1 into the track. I mean, you can run in the bottom and the top and get equal lap times. I know the Cup race on Saturday night is really gonna be awesome and hope everybody tunes in."

Layne Riggs put up a spectacular performance as he and his FRM team shone for the second time. Yet this is only the start of a dazzling racing career!
