Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) is set to partner with Front Row Motorsports and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race-winner Layne Riggs for a multi-race partnership in 2025.
Originating in South Florida with combat sponsors legend Dada 500 and Mike Vazquez, Bare Knuckle Boxing is the oldest professional bare knuckle boxing company in the world and the largest in terms of roster, library, and distribution.
BKB is broadcast in millions of homes around the world, including a recent groundbreaking live television deal with VICE TV in North America.
“Just as Bare Knuckle Boxing is the future of combat sports, Layne Riggs and FRM are the future of motorsports,” said Vazquez. “As a second-generation driver, Layne is already paving his own legacy in racing and the sky’s the limit. We couldn’t think of a better racer to partner with as we both are prime to dominate our respective industries.”
Vazquez added, “A warning to racers: when you see that BKB fist on the track, look out!”
Layne Riggs will carry the colors of Bare Knuckle Boxing on his No. 34 Ford F-150 in five NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events this season, beginning at Rockingham Speedway on April 18. BKB will also serve as a full-season associate partner.
“This is such a cool partnership,” said Riggs. “I have always been a huge fan of combat sports, so this partnership is really exciting for me. BKB came in at a great time, too. The team and I are running well and competing up front, and BKB has a good slate of races that I can see ourselves in Victory Lane.”
Riggs is a two-time winner in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, victories that came at The Milwaukee Mile and Bristol Motor Speedway in 2024. The Bahama, North Carolina-native is in his second full season of Truck Series competition, after clinching Rookie of the Year honors in 2024.
After one-fifth of the season has passed by, Riggs is currently sitting eighth in series point standings, with a pair of top-five finishes — including a second-place result to Kyle Larson at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
In addition to BKB’s debut in NASCAR, Layne Riggs is also scheduled to attend Friday’s “Brawl at the Beach” in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Rockingham Speedway is scheduled for Friday, April 18. Coverage of the event will be on FS1, NASCAR Radio Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
