Layne Riggs swept both stages, led 198 of 200 laps and beat Connor Mosack by 1.148 seconds to win the TSport 200 for the second straight year.
Race Summary
Layne Riggs turned Friday night at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park into a 200-lap demonstration. Starting from the pole, the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford led 198 laps, won both stages and beat Connor Mosack by 1.148 seconds in the TSport 200.
The victory was Riggs' fifth of the 2026 season and the 10th of his Truck Series career. It also made him a back-to-back winner at IRP, where he has combined short-run control with the discipline to keep the rear tires underneath his truck across long green-flag stretches.
Riggs led the opening 71 laps before Chandler Smith took the point for two circuits following a restart. Riggs reclaimed the lead on Lap 74 and never surrendered it again, controlling the final 127 laps. Smith's brief stay out front accounted for the only other laps led and both of the race's lead changes.
Mosack spent the night close enough to capitalize on a mistake, but Riggs never gave him one. Mosack finished second, 1.148 seconds back, with Ty Majeski third. Smith finished fourth after starting alongside Riggs on the front row, and Nick Sanchez completed the top five.
Stewart Friesen, Kaden Honeycutt, Gavan Boschele, Tyler Ankrum and Michael Christopher Jr. rounded out the top 10. Boschele's eighth-place run came in his Truck Series debut. Christopher converted an 11th-place start into a top-10 finish in a race where the first 13 finishers completed all 200 laps.
The official result came after NASCAR completed post-race inspection with no issues. The race lasted 1 hour, 42 minutes and 8 seconds, averaged 80.601 mph and featured three cautions for 25 laps.

Key Takeaways
Riggs controlled every phase
The No. 34 was strongest at the start of a run and never gave away the long-run balance needed to protect the lead. Riggs handled three caution periods, traffic and each restart without exposing a sustained weakness. His stage sweep and 198 laps led made the result as complete as the finishing margin suggests.
Mosack maximized the race behind the dominant truck
Mosack gained five positions from his seventh-place start and scored in both stages before finishing second. He could not close the final gap, but he kept the No. 7 in position throughout the night and was the only driver still within two seconds of Riggs at the finish.
Smith found the only opening
Smith led the only two laps that did not belong to Riggs. The No. 38 used a restart to reach the lead, but Riggs answered on Lap 74. Smith still banked points in both stages and finished fourth, making him the third-highest FantasyJolt scorer despite losing two spots from his front-row start.
New faces converted track position into results
Boschele advanced from 19th to eighth in his series debut. Christopher finished 10th, Parker Eatmon placed 12th and Andres Perez De Lara was 11th. Those runs mattered on a slate where several established names started near the front but did not finish there.
Fantasy Recap
Riggs overwhelmed the FantasyJolt slate at a $15 salary. The win, two stage victories and 198 laps led produced 84.8 base points. Placed in Group A, he supplied 169.6 points by himself.
Mosack scored 57 points through a second-place finish and two stage results. Majeski returned 52 points at a $14 salary, narrowly fitting the optimal build where Smith's $15 salary did not. Dawson Sutton's 17th-place finish produced 24 points at $6, while Toni Breidinger's 25th-place finish supplied 16 points at the minimum $3 tier.
Christian Eckes earned the fastest-lap bonus with a verified 23.146-second lap on Lap 99. His race ended 36 laps short of the leaders, however, and a 33rd-place finish limited him to 18 FantasyJolt points despite finishing second in Stage 1.
The saved FantasyJolt projection lineup correctly anchored Riggs in Group A and included Mosack, but Eckes' fall from fourth to 33rd capped the lineup at 328.85 points. That was 83.6% of the 393.35-point perfect score.
