RACE RECAP

Layne Riggs surged from 7th on the grid to capture the UNOH 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway, methodically working through the field before taking control in the closing stages. The No. 34 led 110 laps on the day and scored 77 fantasy points. The margin of victory was 0.759.

Ben Rhodes (No. 99) finished second after starting 19th โ€” an impressive climb of 17 positions, while Corey Heim (No. 11) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Jake Garcia captured Stage 1 and Corey Heim won Stage 2. The race featured 5 lead changes among 4 drivers โ€” Corey Heim led a race-high 122 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. The tight confines of this short track rewarded aggression and clean air, with tire management separating contenders from pretenders.

The biggest mover of the race was Ben Rhodes (No. 99), who charged from 19th to 2nd โ€” a gain of 17 positions that made the No. 99 one of the top fantasy value plays. Connor Mosack also impressed, climbing from 23rd to 7th.

The race wasn't without drama โ€” 2 drivers failed to finish. From a fantasy perspective, Layne Riggs led all scorers with 77 points, followed by Corey Heim (65.2) and Ty Majeski (47).
