Trace Adkins Chrome 300 - Nashville Superspeedway

Riggs Rules at Nashville
Nashville Superspeedway is a favorite of Scott Riggs and it is easy to see why. Riggs, who won both the inaugural Craftsman Truck series and Busch Series races at the concrete Nashville track, claimed his third career win in “Music City,” taking home another Gibson guitar for his trophy case. Riggs dominated the Trace Adkins Chrome 300, leading 160 of the race’s 225 laps, winning his second Busch race at Nashville; it is the fourth victory of his career. Riggs survived a four-lap shootout to win by .53 seconds over David Green in second place. With the win, Riggs took the lead atop the Busch Series point standings, holding an 18-point advantage over Green. Rookie David Stremme crossed the finish line in third, followed by Randy LaJoie and Nashville native Bobby Hamilton Jr. in the top five.
