For the past 67 years, Lime Rock Park has been the home of sports car racing in the American Northeast. The beloved 1.5-mile track has hosted Trans-Am, Can-Am, IMSA, and plenty of other series, but it has never seen anything quite like the NASCAR Truck Series.

The third tier of NASCAR national competition is set to change that when it arrives in Connecticut for a race on June 28th of 2025. It will be the first national-level NASCAR race at the track, although two regional NASCAR categories have run at the track in the past. NASCAR also owns the modern iteration of IMSA, which last held a GT-only round at the historic sports car track in 2023.

The race at Lime Rock is one of a few gems on the lower-level national series calendars released by NASCAR on Thursday. Both the Truck Series and the second-tier NASCAR Xfinity Series are also headed back to Rockingham, a celebrated one-mile oval in North Carolina that last hosted the top-flight Cup Series in 2004. The Truck Series also retains existing races at two other celebrated short ovals that lost their spots in NASCAR, the once-closed short track at North Wilkesboro and the Indianapolis Raceway Park track once used by the Xfinity Series while the Cup Series ran at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

As the series announced earlier this week, the Xfinity Series will also return to Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez as part of the category's Cup Series race weekend in Mexico. The Truck Series will not join NASCAR's top two categories in Mexico City.
