Layne Riggs finished second in Saturday's thrilling NASCAR Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway, matching his best result of the year after an impressive charge through the field. He made contact with Carson Hocevar on the final as they battled it out for the win, but Hocevar managed to hang on and claim victory, just ahead of Riggs.
However, while Hocevar's truck cleared post-race checks, Riggs' machine did not. The No. 34 Front Row Motorsports truck later failed post-race inspection, costing Riggs his runner-up finish and most of the 49 points he scored during the event as he was disqualified. Riggs will now be scored in 31st (last), collecting just six points. Riggs was set to leave Kansas sixth in the championship, but the DQ will drop him down to ninth in the regular season standings.
