Layne Riggs, the 2022 NASCAR Weekly Series Champion, is all set to make his first start of the 2023 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season this weekend. He will pilot the #1 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for TRICON Garage at Saturday (March 18)’s Truck Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. His ride will be sponsored by Infinity Communication Group.

Layne Riggs is the son of former NASCAR driver Scott Riggs. He made three Truck starts in the 2022 season with Halmar Friesen Racing and scored three top-20 finishes, including a best finish of seventh-place in his debut at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Riggs clinched the 2022 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series championship with 16 total wins. At the age of 20, he is the youngest driver to secure the title, surpassing Peyton Sellers’ record set in 2005 at the age of 21.
