With Ty Majeski and Ben Rhodes breathing down his neck and his No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford running on fumes, Layne Riggs held on to win Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla.
Riggs held a comfortable lead over Rhodes until the closing five laps, when lapped traffic allowed Rhodes and his ThorSport Racing teammate in Majeski to close in on Riggs.
While Majeski got around Rhodes for second, Riggs was shaking his truck on the final lap in an effort to get every ounce of fuel to the engine of his F-150.
Riggs had enough gas to get to the checkered flag while a last-ditch effort from Majeski did not reach Riggs’ back bumper.
The win is the first of the 2026 season for Riggs and the sixth of his Truck Series career.
