Lime Rock Returns
The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is set to race at Lime Rock Park for the LiUNA! 150, a 1.48‑mile natural‑terrain road course that has become a favorite among drivers who thrive on tight turns and elevation changes.
Corey Heim captured the pole last year, but it was Layne Riggs who ultimately dominated the event, leading a lap and finishing ahead of most of the field. Riggs, the current points leader, enters the weekend with two road‑course victories this season and a strong record on circuits like Lime Rock.
A Tight Points Battle
The championship picture is razor‑thin. Only eleven points separate the drivers from tenth through fourteenth, meaning every position in the LiUNA! 150 could swing the standings dramatically. Kaden Honeycutt, second in the standings, brings a road‑course win at Watkins Glen, while Ty Majeski, sixth in points, finished second at Lime Rock last year. Ben Rhodes, who started nineteenth but finished fourth, and Tyler Ankrum, ninth in points, are also within striking distance.
Track position will be crucial. Winners at Lime Rock have rarely broken out of the top ten, and the natural‑terrain layout rewards drivers who can find clean air early. Jake Garcia is chasing Ankrum in the points and hopes to lock down a spot among the championship contenders, while Justin Haley, who posted a twelfth‑place finish at St. Petersburg and a sixth at San Diego this season, looks to add another solid result.
Beyond the competition, the event underscores NASCAR’s expanding partnership with DraftKings, which will provide betting odds and promotional support throughout the weekend. Fans can follow the action live on the sport’s official channels and stream the race on the DraftKings platform.
