āIt was so great,ā Riggs said postrace. āI was just out trying to save my tires for the end. I was just waiting for a late race caution. I was trying to run the bottom and try to run the least amount of distance off my tires.
“Iām out of breath that was a pretty cool celebration. Thank you to all the guys at home, all the guys in the fab shop and body shop. We did it for you guys. This thing was really fast. Made my job easy today.ā
Corey Day earned his best career NASCAR Truck Craftsman Truck Series finish in second with Stewart Friesen coming home in third.
However, Friesen was disqualified after failing post-race inspection. Corey Heim, who initially finished fourth, was relegated to third place. Grant Enfinger was promoted to fourth while Ty Majeski was fifth.
Heim took control early from his first start spot with Chandler Smith moving up to second past Majeski.
Riggs flexed his muscle early, moving up from his 11th starting spot to take the lead from Heim on lap 22. Riggs continued to set a blistering pace, capturing the stage one victory over Majeski by over three seconds.
