​NASCAR is getting ready for the 22nd race weekend of the 2026 season at Lime Rock Park, with the Truck Series expected to deliver another memorable performance. In 2025, Corey Heim outpaced Ty Majeski to claim his fifth victory of the year, and this year the circuit heads to Lime Rock with a substantial prize on the line. The purse for the Truck Series race at Lime Rock on Saturday afternoon stands at $789,700, underscoring the financial stakes of the event. While NASCAR no longer releases the exact earnings for the winning driver, making it difficult to determine precisely how much of the purse will go to the victor and their team in victory lane, the figure still represents a significant payout for competitors.
Last year’s Lime Rock purse was $782,900, marking a $6,800 increase from the previous year and signaling continued growth in the prize money for this event. As the trucks roll onto the Lime Rock Park infield, all eyes will be on which driver can maximize the payoff and secure a strong payday in addition to a solid finish. Majeski is aiming to rebound and improve by one spot in this year’s race at Lime Rock, building on the momentum from 2025 when Gio Ruggiero and Ben Rhodes fielded strong trucks and challenged for top positions. Lime Rock Park has a reputation for producing exciting races, and the 2026 edition is poised to deliver more of the same, with high-stakes competition, tight laps, and dramatic late-race moves that fans always remember.
With the stage set, fans can anticipate a weekend packed with competitive action, strategic pit stops, and the potential for surprising outcomes as teams push to maximize the purse and earn valuable points toward the season standings. For those following NASCAR live, the Lime Rock event adds another layer of intrigue to a season already filled with dramatic moments and emerging storylines.
