In a caution-filled final stage, Grant Enfinger, driving for CR7 Motorsports, took advantage of late troubles with Layne Riggs and Kaden Honeycutt, and survived numerous late restarts to earn his 13th career NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win, and his first of the season, snapping a winless drought dating back to the 2024 Baptist Health 200.[9] Pole-sitter Riggs won the first stage, leading a race-high 48 laps, while Honeycutt won the second stage and led 14 laps. Landen Lewis finished second, and Honeycutt finished third. Parker Kligerman and Christian Eckes rounded out the top five, while Daniel Hemric, Andrés Pérez de Lara, Tanner Gray, Stewart Friesen, and Colin Braun rounded out the top ten.
Report
Background
Lime Rock Park is a natural-terrain motorsport road racing venue located in Lakeville, Connecticut, United States, a hamlet in the town of Salisbury, in the state's northwest corner. Built in 1956, it is the nation's third oldest continuously operating road racing venue, behind Road America (1955) and Willow Springs International Motorsports Park (1953).[10] The track was owned by Skip Barber from 1984 to April 2021, a former race car driver who started the Skip Barber Racing School in 1975. Now, it is owned by Lime Rock Group, LLC.[11] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[12]
The Laborers' International Union of North America (LiUNA) was announced as the title sponsor for the race as they did for the previous year.[13]

Qualifying
Qualifying was held on Saturday, July 11, at 10:05 AM ET.[14] Since Lime Rock Park is a road course, the qualifying procedure used was a two-group system with one round. Drivers were separated into two groups, A and B. Each driver had multiple laps to set a time. Whoever set the fastest time between both groups won the pole.[16]
Under a 2021 rule change, the timing line in road course qualifying is "not" the start-finish line. Instead, the timing line for qualifying was set at the exit of the West Bend in Turn 6. Layne Riggs, driving for Front Row Motorsports, qualified on pole position with a lap of 53.683 seconds, and a speed of 99.115 miles per hour (159.510 km/h).[17]
No drivers failed to qualify.
