The Stage Is Set
McAnally‑Hilgemann Racing is set to take on Lime Rock Park in Connecticut for the final road‑course event of the 2026 season, a race that carries significant playoff implications for the team and its four drivers.
Hemric Leads the Charge
Daniel Hemric will pilot the No. 19 CRC Brakleen Chevrolet, a car that has become synonymous with his pursuit of his first road‑course victory. The driver boasts the best average finish among Truck Series regulars on road courses this year, sitting at 4.7, and his consistency has put him at the forefront of the MHR lineup.
Ankrum’s Redemption Quest
Tyler Ankrum arrives looking to rebound from a heartbreaking finish in San Diego, a result that left him just outside the playoff cut. Last season he posted a top‑10 finish at Lime Rock and will again be backed by LIUNA as his primary sponsor, adding extra motivation to secure a spot in the postseason.
Eckes Eyes First Victory
Christian Eckes, currently fifth in the points standings, is eager to add his first win of the season to his résumé. Since returning to full‑time competition, he has logged three top‑five finishes, eight top‑tens and three stage victories, underscoring his steady performance.
Wright’s Momentum
Kris Wright enters the weekend fresh off his best finish of the year and with a history of success at Lime Rock in the Pirelli World Challenge series. In four previous starts on the track he has earned two top‑five finishes, giving him valuable road‑racing experience that MHR hopes to translate into a strong result.
Brands and Stakeholders
The event is supported by a roster of partners including NASCAR, Chevrolet, Tilcon Connecticut Inc., and Warranty Solutions, each bringing commercial visibility to the series as it heads into its concluding road‑course showdown.
All four drivers carry personal and team ambitions that intertwine with the broader narrative of the 2026 season, making the Lime Rock race a focal point for fans and stakeholders alike.
