RACE RECAP

Layne Riggs started from the pole, led 106 of 189 laps and survived two overtime attempts to win the Team EJP 175 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford beat teammate Chandler Smith by 0.293 seconds for Riggs' sixth victory of 2026 and the 11th Truck Series win of his career.

Connor Zilisch swept both stages and led 55 laps before contact cost him track position late. Riggs returned to the lead before the final sequence of cautions, then controlled both overtime restarts as the regular-season finale stretched 14 laps beyond its scheduled distance. Kaden Honeycutt finished third, Stewart Friesen fourth and Zilisch fifth.

Friesen's two-tire strategy created a late run at the final Chase position, but Tyler Ankrum stayed alive through brake trouble and finished 16th to claim the last postseason berth. Riggs left New Hampshire as the regular-season champion and the top seed for the seven-race Chase.
