Layne Riggs Scores Multi-Year Extension with Front Row Motorsports
After a stellar sophomore campaign and just narrowly missing out on the Championship 4 in the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs, Layne Riggs has been given another shot at winning a championship.
Front Row Motorsports (FRM) confirmed on Wednesday that Riggs would be returning to the organization next season, once again piloting the No. 34 Ford F-150, as part of a multi-year contract extension with the team.
Riggs has been able to park his Ford F-150 in Victory Lane three times this year at Pocono, Indianapolis Raceway Park, and Bristol, while also collecting a career-high 12 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes, along with three poles.
“This year was a huge confidence booster—not just for me, but for our entire team,” said Riggs. “Making a deep playoff run is no easy task, but this group made it feel that way. We’re ready for the offseason, but just as excited to come out swinging at Daytona.”
