A Late Surge at Nashville
Layne Riggs captured the Allegiance 200 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Nashville Superspeedway on May 29, 2026, after a race that swung back and forth before a dramatic final‑lap maneuver.
The No. 34 driver began the contest by leading the opening 90 laps, claiming victory in both the first two stages and building an early advantage that seemed to guarantee a comfortable win.
However, a caution‑induced restart with 30 laps remaining forced Riggs to navigate traffic, and he fell back to as low as tenth before a fresh set of tires propelled him forward.
With two laps left, he surged past Chandler Smith for second place, and on the very last circuit he overtook Rajah Caruth to clinch the checkered flag, while Caruth settled for second.
The final results saw Chandler Smith in third, Ross Chastain fourth and Tyler Ankrum fifth, rounding out a competitive top‑five.
