Front Row Motorsports driver Layne Riggs took control early and never let go at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on Friday night. Leading 160 of the 200 laps, Riggs captured his second win of the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season. Behind him, chaos unfolded both on and off the track, with a disqualification, a record-setting points lead, and a career-best finish all shaping the night’s narrative.
Key Highlights
Layne Riggs led 160 laps to win his second race of the 2025 season.
Corey Day earned a career-best second-place finish for Spire Motorsports.
Stewart Friesen was disqualified post-race for failing ride-height inspection.
Corey Heim locked up the regular-season championship with a 143-point lead.
The race featured only one caution, for Josh Reaume on Lap 99.
A Commanding Drive by Layne Riggs
Layne Riggs made a statement under the lights at IRP, leading four-fifths of the race and holding off rising star Corey Day by nearly two seconds at the checkered flag. Riggs started from a strong position and capitalized on long green-flag runs to stretch out his advantage. The No. 34 machine looked unbeatable, handling clean air with ease and surviving the race’s only caution following Josh Reaume’s Lap 99 incident.
Behind Riggs, Corey Day delivered his best performance yet in the Spire Motorsports No. 7. The young driver stayed steady, avoided traffic issues, and quietly climbed to second. Though unable to challenge Riggs late, Day’s runner-up marked a significant step forward in his career.
Corey Heim’s Championship Moment
The win may have gone to Riggs, but Corey Heim arguably had the most significant outcome of the night. Despite finishing fourth in the official standings following Stewart Friesen’s disqualification, Heim left the race having secured the 2025 regular-season title. He needed to finish the night with at least a 122-point margin—and did so by extending the gap to an unofficial 143 points over Chandler Smith.
The result sets Heim up well for the postseason, giving him a head start with valuable playoff points. While not flashy in this race, his consistency once again made the difference.
Stewart Friesen Falls, Others Rise
Stewart Friesen’s post-race disqualification added another twist. After originally finishing third, inspection revealed the front of his No. 52 truck was too low, costing him his result and moving others up a spot. Corey Heim inherited third, with Grant Enfinger and Ty Majeski rounding out the top five.
Chandler Smith ran seventh and continued his strong late-season form. Daniel Hemric was eighth, Tyler Ankrum ninth, and Ross Chastain—pulling double duty from the Cup Series—slotted into 10th. Rajah Caruth just missed the top 10 but put in a solid run in 11th.
Notably outside the top 15 were veterans like Matt Crafton (19th) and Jordan Anderson (30th), both of whom struggled to find pace or were hampered by traffic.
