The last-lap battle between Layne Riggs and Cam Waters ended up in a feud post-race at the pit road of the Kansas Speedway on May 4, 2024.
Australian Supercars star Waters got his first top 20 in the second start of his Truck Series career with a 19th finish, one place behind the #38 driver of Front Row Motorsports Layne Riggs. On the final lap of the race, Waters, in replays, was shown getting loose on the end and may have shoved Riggs on the wall in the final moments before the 134th lap.
This led to a confrontation between the two drivers. The #66 driver for ThorSport Racing Waters approached the 21-year-old Riggs, seemingly to discuss the incident but was left with an agitated response.
This exchange was shown by NASCAR on Fox on their social media handle:
