DRIVER LAYNE RIGGS:
"Great way to end the season. I am so proud of this entire team. Dylan (Cappello), the road and pit crew worked so hard this season to get me to where I'm at. I wouldn't be here without them. The first part of the season was rough, but they stuck by my side and kept on working to bring fast Ford F-150's to the track. Super glad we could end the season on a high note. If it wasn't for spinning, I think we could have been in contention for the win, but regardless, it was still a solid night to end the season."
"Thank you Love's, Infinity Communications and all our partners for backing me in my rookie season. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for their valued partnerships. Hopefully I can repay them with more wins in 2025."
