Pole Position Set for Lime Rock Park Truck Series
The NASCAR Truck Series rolled into the 1.5‑mile road course of Lime Rock Park in Limeville, Connecticut, for a weekend that combined practice running with the finalization of the qualifying order. The atmosphere was charged as teams and drivers fine‑tuned setups on a layout that rewards precision and strategic overtaking.
Layne Riggs emerged as the fastest in the knockout qualifying segment, posting a lap of 53.683 seconds that secured the pole position. His achievement placed him ahead of a tightly packed field and set the stage for a potentially dramatic first‑lap battle.
Joining Riggs on the front row will be Connor Mosack and Kaden Honeycutt, both of whom posted strong times in the earlier rounds. The lineup also features notable names such as Ty Majeski and Daniel Hemric, who have been regular contenders throughout the season and are expected to challenge for the lead early in the race.
Practice sessions earlier in the weekend highlighted additional talent. Chandler Smith posted the quickest practice time at 54.312 seconds, while Ben Rhodes and Daniel Hemric also turned in solid runs that suggest they could factor into the mid‑pack battle for position.
With the starting grid now set, attention turns to how the trucks will navigate the technical sections of Lime Rock Park. The combination of a narrow layout and high‑speed corners often produces strategic moves, and the presence of multiple playoff‑eligible drivers adds an extra layer of intensity to the upcoming event.
