Front Row Motorsports has four drivers who could realistically compete in the NASCAR Cup Series. With Todd Gilliland, Zane Smith, and Noah Gragson in the Cup Series, Layne Riggs is blocked at Front Row Motorsports. However, Riggs is ready to race in the Cup Series, and he believes it is a possibility in 2027.
So, what does Front Row Motorsports think about Riggs' future in the Cup Series? According to Front Row Motorsports general manager Jerry Freeze, as reported on NASCAR.com, Riggs will be racing in the Cup Series soon.
"We’d love to see [Layne Riggs] get a chance — and he will get a chance," Freeze said to NASCAR.com. "He will get a chance, and we see a bright, bright future with Layne for sure...But you’re right. That’s the hardest part.”
Riggs has five wins in the Truck Series and figures to be the No. 1 seed ahead of the Chase in 2026. There is nothing left for Riggs to prove in the Truck Series, even if he does win a championship. If Front Row Motorsports wants to keep Riggs long-term, he might need an opportunity in the Cup Series soon.
