LAKEVILLE, Conn. (24 June 2026) — During this year’s LIUNA 150 weekend, a general admission ticket will unlock more than a seat on Spectator Hill at Lime Rock Park.
For the first time this season, NASCAR fans attending a national series event will be able to step inside the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series garages without a separate pass, bringing Lime Rock Park’s longstanding open paddock tradition to the series.
All general admission ticket holders will have access to the NASCAR garage on Friday, July 10, from 2-4 p.m., offering fans the opportunity to get up close to the teams, drivers and trucks that make up the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.
Since opening in 1957, Lime Rock Park has distinguished itself through an open paddock philosophy that allows fans to interact directly with drivers, teams and race cars.
“After hearing feedback from fans following last year’s event, we worked with NASCAR to create an experience that reflects the culture and accessibility that have defined Lime Rock Park for nearly 70 years,” said Lime Rock Park President and CEO Dicky Riegel. “NASCAR has been a tremendous partner throughout the process and has fully embraced the idea. Together, we found a way to extend The Park’s open paddock tradition to the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series while maintaining the security and operational needs of the teams.”
The LIUNA 150 returns to Lime Rock Park on July 10-11 following a successful inaugural event in 2025 that established a modern-day attendance record for the historic circuit. The weekend will feature the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series and USF Juniors competing on Lime Rock Park’s iconic 1.53-mile, seven-turn road course.
Race weekend festivities begin on Thursday, July 9, with a free NASCAR Fan Fest at The White Hart Inn. Fans will have a front-row view of the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Hauler Parade as approximately 40 team transporters make their way through Salisbury en route to Lime Rock Park. The parade watch party will also include autograph opportunities and family-friendly activities.
This year’s LIUNA 150 event schedule has been restructured to create a full day of racing action on both Friday and Saturday.
Friday (July 10) will feature a full day of on-track activity from the ARCA Menards Series with practice, qualifying and the Lime Rock 100. USF Juniors will also be in action with practice sessions, qualifying and its first race of the weekend.
The CRAFTSMAN Truck Series will take center stage on Saturday (July 11) for an intense one-day program featuring practice, qualifying and the LIUNA 150 all on the same day. USF Juniors will conclude the weekend with its final rounds.
Fans wishing to participate in the NASCAR paddock experience must sign a waiver, which will be available at the Info Booth in the Coca-Cola Fan Zone or at the A Paddock entrance leading into the garage area.
In addition to the paddock experience, fans will have opportunities throughout the weekend to interact with drivers, explore the fan midway and enjoy one of the most accessible environments in professional motorsports.
