Layne Riggs chegará a Homestead 20 pontos atrás de Kaden Honeycutt na briga pelo título da Truck Series, e poderia ter chegado lá como líder se tivesse vencido em Martinsville. Em vez disso, o companheiro de Front Row Motorsports, Chandler Smith, bateu ele na bandeirada.
No último reinício, Smith foi por fora com o carro número 38 e passou Riggs, que teve de se contentar com o terceiro lugar. Não havia ordens de equipe, e nenhuma era esperada: Smith está deixando a organização para correr pela Richard Childress Racing na série O'Reilly.
“Não, quer dizer, ele não precisa aliviar para mim”, disse Riggs quando perguntado sobre a manobra. “Estou orgulhoso do Chandler. Ele fez exatamente o que deveria fazer como companheiro de equipe.”
O próprio reinício dele foi o arrependimento. “Só queria ter sido melhor nos reinícios. Sei que ele tinha um pouco mais de ar porque, em todo reinício, conseguia sair rápido e depois sumia”, disse. “Sinto que tive um bom impulso. Só fiquei muito solto nas curvas um e dois.”
Smith, perguntado na coletiva do vencedor se hesitou ao brigar com um concorrente ao título, disse que sim. “Tenho responsabilidade com o Bob Jenkins (dono da equipe) e com a minha equipe do 38 de ir lá e vencer a corrida, mas ao mesmo tempo avaliar a situação e não fazer algo que vá prejudicar o 34 (Riggs)”, explicou, creditando um empurrão na hora certa do carro 88 para a arrancada que fez a ultrapassagem colar.
