Niner Nation Supports Layne Riggs at Charlotte Motor Speedway
The excitement continues for Niner Nation as Layne Riggs, a UNC Charlotte student and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular-season champion, prepares to race at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. Following the recent Homecoming events, fans have an opportunity to rally behind Riggs as he competes for the championship title.
UNC Charlotte students, alumni, faculty, staff, and supporters can enjoy a 25% discount on tickets for the races held on Friday, October 6, and Sunday, October 8, by using the promo code FortyNiners2026. Ticket holders will be seated together in Section 140, creating a vibrant atmosphere for the Niners at the track.
Transportation for Students
In an effort to facilitate attendance, the university is providing free shuttle service for students heading to the Friday race. The shuttle will depart from Popp Martin Student Union at 3 p.m. and will return to campus about an hour after the event concludes.
The schedule for Friday includes driver introductions at 4:40 p.m., followed by the start of the race at 5 p.m. Students are encouraged to display their electronic tickets when boarding the shuttle to ensure a smooth transportation experience.
Cheering for Layne Riggs
Supporters are urged to don green attire and gather their fellow Niners to create a lively presence in Section 140. This initiative aims to showcase the spirit of Niner Nation as Riggs takes to the track, reinforcing the connection between the university and the racing community.
