Summary
Layne Riggs storms from the pole position at North Wilkesboro Speedway after a blistering qualifying lap of 121.608 mph — his second of the season and sixth career pole — narrowly edging out Carson Hocevar by just 0.016 seconds. Despite a tight truck in practice, Riggs credits crew chief Dylan Cappello for the crucial adjustments that brought the machine to life when it mattered most. With Christopher Bell third and reigning champ Corey Heim fourth, the field is stacked with talent including Chase Elliott and Daniel Hemric. Two drivers — Landon Huffman and Timmy Hill — missed the cut, leaving 38 trucks ready to battle. Riggs, who’s had near-misses at this track before, is now in prime position to finally claim victory.
