Layne Riggs scrubbed the outside wall with three laps remaining in the Race to Stop Suicide 200 at Kansas Speedway on September 26, 2026, cutting a right-front tire and finishing 19th. The result dropped Riggs from a three-point advantage to a 37-point deficit behind Kaden Honeycutt in the Truck Series Chase.
Layne Riggs rallied from a slow pit service during the Race to Stop Suicide 200 at Kansas Speedway on September 26, 2026, climbed from a 22nd starting spot to lead late after a two-tire stop, but scrubbed the outside wall with three laps remaining, cutting a right-front tire and falling to 19th at the finish. Riggs had collected eight stage points in the first stage and nine in the second, and suffered a pit-lane lugnut issue earlier that dropped him to 25th before his recovery.
Before Kansas Riggs held a narrow three-point lead over Kaden Honeycutt; the Kansas result flipped the standings so Riggs now trails Honeycutt by 37 points. Riggs and his No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford F-150 team shift focus to the next Chase race, the Ecosave 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway scheduled for October 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET; Riggs previously won at Charlotte earlier in mid-May.
