TEMPERS FLARE at North Wilkesboro! | Wild Truck Finish Reaction & Analysis

Tempers boiled over at North Wilkesboro Speedway after a chaotic Craftsman Truck Series finish, and the fireworks didn’t stop at the checkered flag. Layne Riggs and Corey Heim, talented young guns with bright futures, clashed on track and off. Heim dominated the race, leading 162 laps, but a late move by Riggs shoved him into the marbles, spinning him out and handing the win to Chandler Smith. Heim didn’t hold back after the race, telling Riggs he was “racing like an idiot” and warning him to calm down — or else.

• Corey Heim led the most laps but was taken out late after Riggs’ aggressive dive into Turn 1.
• Layne Riggs, on fresher tires, went all-out for the win but didn’t leave Heim room to fight back clean, or did he?
• Post-race, Heim confronted Riggs with a brief but pointed warning before walking away.
• This marks Riggs’ third aggressive move in just two weeks, raising eyebrows across the garage.

The aftermath leaves fans split. Was it just hard short-track racing or a dirty overreach from Riggs? Eric breaks down both sides, admitting that while he’s a fan of both, Heim might be fully justified if he returns the favor in the coming weeks. One thing’s certain: This rivalry has severe heat now, and we’ll all be watching the next time they’re door-to-door.
