All I had to do is hold on for 30 laps” said a happy Layton. “I want to thank Dave & Moon for believing in me and giving me this chance. We are preparing for PA Speed Week and hope to make some noise and put the #7 up front during the week. I also want to thank all my fans for sticking with me and tell them to stop at the store on the way to the track, pick up some great Middleswarth Chips, and strap in. It’s going to be a heck of a ride” added Layton.

“I need to say a big thank you to my brother” said Layton. “This deal to drive for Dave Middleswarth came out of the blue and he sacrificed a lot to keep me racing. None of this would have happened without him”
