The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Naval Base Coronado concluded with an overtime finish that kept fans on the edge of their seats, as Layne Riggs crossed the line first after a dramatic final lap.
Fuel strategy proves decisive
Riggs executed a calculated fuel‑saving maneuver, stretching his tank just enough to hold off a charging Tyler Reif in the closing corners of the track.
Tyler Reif had been in contention to claim the win, but a misjudged move in the final turns cost him the lead, allowing Riggs to take the checkered flag.
A void left by Heim
The victory marks Riggs' attempt to fill the void left by Corey Heim, who has opted out of a full‑time schedule this year, and it adds to a season that already includes four wins, two of them on street circuits at St. Pete and San Diego.
Looking ahead, the schedule will take the series to Lime Rock Park and a string of short‑track venues that suit Riggs' skill set, and his average finish over the last five races sits at a stellar 2.0, underscoring his consistency.
