LAKEVILLE, CT – Grant Enfinger survived the LiUNA 150 at Lime Rock Park to earn his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win since 2024.

The last time Enfinger was celebrating in Victory Lane was Homestead-Miami Speedway in October 2024; however, on Saturday in Connecticut, he survived the chaos in the closing laps and held Landon Lewis off to capture his 13th-career series victory.

“I mean honestly, Derek (Smith, crew chief) has given us great road course trucks all year long, and this is sadly enough, it has been our best opportunity to win as a road course, but we’ve had issues in all three of them,” Enfinger said. “This time, we had our issues in practice and broke the shock and year, George did an amazing job. Derek did an amazing job just getting us out there to qualify, but we missed something with some of the suspension components today, but Derek did a great job for the race.

“I feel like we had something play in our hand. I don’t think we could have beat the 11 (Kaden Honeycutt) and the 34 (Layne Riggs) straight up. I’ve seen what happened in the ARCA race. I didn’t want to line-up third and push my way through the win.”

Lewis finished second in the No. 45 J.F. Electric/Utilitra Chevrolet. He had an opportunity to move Enfinger out of the way to take over the lead, but he chose not to make the move. The finish marked a career high for the Ocean Isle, NC native.

Honeycutt, Parker Kligerman and Christian Eckes rounded out the top-five. Daniel Hemric finished sixth, followed by Andres Perez De Lara, Tanner Gray, Stewart Friesen and Colin Braun.

Riggs won Stage 1, and Honeycutt won Stage 2.

There were nine lead changes among six drivers. Riggs led a race high of 48 laps.

The caution came out on seven occasions for 39 laps.

A scary situation occurred when Thomas Annunziata’s burst into flames. Annunziata quickly escaped the flames under his own power, but the TRICON Garage drivers was later transported to a medical facility for further evaluation. Annunziata won the ARCA Menards Series race on Friday.

Riggs leads the standings by 44 points over Honeycutt.

Up next, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will visit North Wilkesboro Speedway for the FaithFest 250 presented by Mercer Transportation on Saturday, July 18. Live coverage will broadcast on FS1 at 12:30 p.m. ET.
