Will Pilot the No. 62 at Caraway Speedway
Harrisburg, N.C. (June 22, 2023) – Layne Riggs will make his first start for Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) in the CARS Tour race at Caraway Speedway on Wednesday, June 28, driving the No. 62. With his start for KHI, co-owned by Kevin and DeLana Harvick, Layne continues a family tradition that started with his father Scott and DeLana Harvick’s father, John Paul Linville.
“This really is a full circle moment for me,” said Scott Riggs. “Most people don’t know that one of my earlier opportunities came when DeLana’s dad, John Paul (Linville), called my local track, Orange County Speedway, looking for someone to drive his late model car when the tour came to town and the track gave him my name and number. To have that opportunity at my home track, to practice and drive the No. 62 car was huge for me. At the time, I was also competing against Rodney (Childers) and later had him as my crew chief on the NASCAR side. So many parts of my career are coming back together and to now see Layne driving the same car number for the same family, it really is special and I’m excited about this opportunity for him.”
