Layne Riggs will start from the pole for the Allegiance 200 at Nashville Superspeedway after rain washed out qualifying for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race set for May 29. The weather left officials to set the front of the field without a session on track, pushing Riggs to the top spot and turning a wet afternoon into a very different kind of race day decision.
Kaden Honeycutt will line up second, with Jesse Love in third in a rare Truck Series start for Spire Motorsports. The rest of the field was altered as well, with Toni Breidinger and Jonathan Shafer among the drivers who did not qualify for the race.
The pole gives Riggs the best possible opening at a track where track position matters, but the storyline extends beyond the front row. Rajah Caruth, the defending winner from last year, will roll off 25th in the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet originally slated for Kyle Busch, a reminder that the day’s biggest change was not just at the top of the order but throughout the lineup.
The Allegiance 200 will be shown nationally on FS1, with streaming available on FUBO, which offers a free trial to potential subscribers. For the drivers who made the show and the ones who did not, the race now begins with a lineup shaped by rain rather than qualifying speed.
