Layne Riggs Delayed as Allegiance 200 Waited Until 10:06 p.m.

layne riggs had to wait through a weather delay before the Allegiance 200 at Nashville Superspeedway finally got rolling on May 29. The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race was stalled at 7:35 p.m., then reached the green flag at 10:06 p.m. after track drying and race preparation resumed.

At 8:37 p.m., dryers were on the track and the green flag was expected within the next hour. Drivers were then told to report back to their trucks at 9:20 p.m., a sign the race night was moving back toward a start after the interruption.

The command to start engines came at 9:40 p.m. from Allegiance owners Katie and Wes Lyon. That put the field on a final countdown toward the start, with the race still waiting on the all-clear to go green.

The delay stretched nearly three hours from the first update at 7:35 p.m. to the green flag at 10:06 p.m. The schedule shifted enough that the start came well after the original window for the Truck Series race, but the track did get back to racing the same night.

Nashville Superspeedway had described the weekend as NASCAR racing in Music City, with the Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series featured at the venue. For teams and fans, the practical change was simple: the race did not begin when planned, and the restart sequence had to be reset around weather and drying time before the trucks could take the green.

By the time the green flag waved at 10:06 p.m., the delay had already forced multiple updates and a late-night start for the Allegiance 200. That left the race as a weather-managed event from the first delay notice through the command to start engines, with the field finally released after a long pause on May 29.
