Grant Enfinger Claims LiUNA 150 Victory at Lime Rock Park

Grant Enfinger edged out Landen Lewis in a thrilling finish at the LiUNA 150 on July 11, clinching his first NASCAR win since 2024. The No. 9 CR7 Motorsports Chevrolet seized the lead during a chaotic restart with just three laps remaining and held off a strong challenge from Lewis in the final four miles. The margin of victory was narrow, but Enfinger’s composure in the closing stages proved decisive.

Race Highlights and Winning Strategy

The restart that shuffled the field set up a pivotal moment for Enfinger, who moved ahead under pressure and never relinquished the top spot. Lewis, driving the No. 45 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet, stayed within striking distance but could not find a way past the seasoned veteran. Enfinger’s team executed a perfect pit strategy that positioned the car for the crucial final push.

With the win, Enfinger not only reclaimed a prize he last tasted in 2024 but also added a valuable notch to his résumé in a competitive Truck Series field. The victory underscores the importance of timing and precision on a track where margins are often measured in inches.

Podium Finishers

• Grant Enfinger – No. 9 CR7 Motorsports Chevrolet (Winner)
• Landen Lewis – No. 45 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet (2nd place)
• Kaden Honeycutt – No. 11 TRICON Garage Toyota (3rd place)

Honeycutt, who dominated much of the opening 60 laps alongside teammate Layne Riggs, had to navigate a tricky pit strategy that shuffled the drivers behind the scenes. A chain‑reaction incident shuffled both drivers back, leading to Riggs dropping a lap while Honeycutt recovered to secure third. The early battle set the tone for a race full of strategy and unexpected shifts.

Mid‑Race Drama and Its Aftermath

When the teams adjusted pit calls, Riggs was thrust into a turbulent back‑section of the field. The ensuing contact created a mini‑traffic jam that cost Riggs a lap and altered the order among several contenders. Honeycutt’s ability to capitalize on the disruption showcased his adaptability under pressure.

Riggs finished 24th, one lap down, while Honeycutt’s strong charge vaulted him to the podium. The incident highlighted how a single strategic decision can ripple through the entire field and reshape the outcome of a race.
