Layne Riggs wins Pocono NASCAR Truck shocker after issues take out leaders

With 3.6 seconds over runner-up finisher Tanner Gray, Front Row Motorsports' Layne Riggs piloted the No. 34 Ford to victory at Pocono Raceway. He became the first Ford driver to win a Truck race at Pocono since Ryan Blaney did it in 2013. Friday's triumph is Riggs' third career win, but his first of the 2025 season.

"That's just a testament to this team," said Riggs. "This thing was bad fast, especially that last run. I really hate that the #11 [Heim] fell out. Not sure what the #7 [Hocevar] was doing on the restart there, but I made sure to take advantage of it. Not really sure why we slowed down 30mph in the restart zone but hey, I'm a happy man right now ... I'm on cloud nine. This is not one I had circled. Like I said,  last year we wrecked in practice, didn't qualify, and ran around dead last all day. Today, we were the best. That's amazing."
