LAKEVILLE, CT (13 June 2025)- The rumble of big rigs and the excitement of NASCAR are coming to town as the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Hauler Parade rolls through Salisbury on Thursday, June 26. Fans will have a front-row seat as approximately 40 brightly colored NASCAR haulers make their way through the streets, bringing the energy of the LIUNA 150 race weekend to the community.

Fans can see their favorite NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series drivers’ haulers make their way down Route 44 beginning at 4:00 p.m. Eastern, as Lime Rock Park kicks off the LIUNA 150, featuring NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series and NASCAR Classic. 

The NASCAR Fan Fest at The White Hart Inn will be the place to celebrate, featuring the free Pit Stop Party from 4:00-6:00 p.m., where fans can enjoy parade viewing and a lively hoedown atmosphere. The hauler parade is scheduled to pass by The White Hart Inn at 4:30 p.m., giving fans the perfect vantage point to see the massive trucks up close as they roll toward Lime Rock Park for the LIUNA 150 race weekend.

In addition to the parade and party, fans will have the opportunity to get autographs from NASCAR Truck drivers Tyler Ankrum, Corey Heim and more during the Driver Meet & Greet and see the No. 18 LIUNA Chevrolet Silverado RST show truck at The White Hart Inn, creating a can’t-miss FREE experience for race fans of all ages.

The NASCAR Fan Fest is presented by Lime Rock Park in partnership with NASCAR, Foolproof Brewing Company, Elyse Harney Real Estate, NEFT Vodka and the LIUNA 150.

The convoy will stage at Salisbury School before receiving a formal escort from the Connecticut State Police.

From the school, the parade will:

• Head west on Route 44, traveling through the scenic heart of the Town of Salisbury, past the White Hart Inn and into Lakeville 
• At the corner of Main and Montgomery Street in Lakeville, the convoy will make a left turn onto Route 41 South
• Continue south briefly before turning left onto Route 112 East at the blinking light across from The Hotchkiss School
• Follow Route 112 East for several miles
• Make a right turn onto White Hollow Road, which leads directly to Lime Rock Park
• The 1.5-mile drive around Lime Rock Park will conclude the procession as the convoy enters the facility through its main gate.

The full route travels past several local landmarks and through charming Northwest Connecticut villages, offering the public multiple safe viewing spots along the way, but the best spot to watch will be from The White Hart Inn. 

The LIUNA 150 weekend at Lime Rock Park begins with the NASCAR Classic race on Friday, June 27, and racing from both the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series on Saturday, June 28.
