Front Row Motorsports has confirmed its driver, crew chief, and number lineup for the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign.
Layne Riggs, who captured a pair of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victories last season at The Milwaukee Mile and Bristol Motor Speedway, will drive the newly-minted No. 34 Ford F-150.
After rising through the regional ranks, Riggs first signed with Front Row Motorsports for the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign, where he piloted the No. 38 Ford F-150.
Riggs finished his maiden full-time campaign with a pair of victories, seven top-five finishes, and 10 top-10s, culminating in an 11th-place finish in final point standings.
Dylan Cappello will continue to serve as crew chief for Riggs in 2025, also jumping over to the No. 34 Ford F-150.
“I’m looking forward to another season with FRM, and now with the No. 34,” said Riggs. “I have a great group behind me with Dylan (Cappello) leading them from atop the pit box. We’re ready for the season to start and hit the ground running.”
Love’s Travel Stops, a long-time sponsor of Front Row Motorsports, will serve as a major partner for Riggs in the No. 34, with the brand’s sponsorship now matching the NASCAR Cup Series.
“It is an honor to carry the No. 34,” said Riggs. “The 34 means so much to the Love’s Travel Stops brand and it means a lot that I get to add to its legacy.”
This season, Riggs is looking to return to Victory Lane, and compete for not only a spot in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs, but also a championship.
“I’m thrilled to keep working with Layne (Riggs),” said Dylan Cappello. “We created a lot of great memories in the No. 38, and I’m excited to build on that in the No. 34. We’re putting in the effort this offseason to start the season strong at Daytona.”
For the first time in the history of the organization’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series program, Front Row Motorsports will run two full-time entries.
Chandler Smith will get behind the wheel of the No. 38 Ford F-150 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2025, with Jon Leonard serving as the full-time crew chief.
Leonard has been working as a crew chief in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series since 2020, including a two-race stint with Front Row Motorsports and Todd Gilliland in 2020.
“I’m happy to be at Front Row Motorsports,” said Leonard. “They are one of the top teams in the Truck Series and have the resume to prove it. I’m looking forward to working with Chandler (Smith) and building a strong relationship with him that will hopefully earn us some checkered flags.”
The organization will now turn its focus to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season-opener at Daytona International Speedway, which is set to take place Friday, February 14 at 7:30 PM ET on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
