Layne Riggs’ NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team will have a tougher look. 

Front Row Motorsports announced the No. 34 Ford will enter a new sponsorship deal with Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) for five events, beginning at Rockingham Speedway on April 18. BKB will serve as a team associate throughout 2025, according to a press release. 

“This is such a cool partnership,” Riggs said. 

Entering Friday’s Weather Guard Truck Race at Bristol Motor Speedway, Riggs, with two top-five finishes in five starts, ranks eighth in the driver strandings, 81 points behind leader Corey Heim. 

Tyler Ankrum’s Machine Gets New Sponsor 

Tyler Ankrum’s No. 18 Chevrolet will don a new, but familiar sponsorship Friday. 

McAnally-Hilgemann Racing announced a partnership with Ullico for two events this season, Bristol and Nashville Speedway (May 30). The company has sponsored Ankrum’s ride for parts of the past three seasons.  

“It’s really great to have Ullico back on board,” Ankrum said via press release. 

Registering four top 10s in five outings, Ankrum ranks sixth in the drivers’ standings with 148 points.
