"Congrats to them, after last weekend, things didn't quite work out for him, and hate that it went down. So glad he got to rebound. Hopefully he feels a bit better now and can breathe," Riggs told Frontstretch about Heim. (0:15 onwards)

Following this, Riggs spoke about his race on Friday. Here's what he further added:

"I think tonight we had a solid Top five. I didn't get off at all, every restart was plowing tight, probably on the splitter. Maybe when it got off the splitter. It was pretty good. It was just not enough to be able to run with those guys once I lose track position... And I just couldn't make ground." ( Till 0:48)
