Annunziata Dominates Lime Rock, Cuts ARCA Points Gap

The victory highlights his rare road-course expertise.

Overview

  • Thomas Annunziata started second, led 59 of 68 laps at Lime Rock Park and took the checkered flag for his second straight win at the venue.
  • His back-to-back Lime Rock wins make him only the second driver in ARCA Menards Series history to record multiple road-course victories.
  • Jake Bollman kept the series lead but Annunziata narrowed the margin to eight points, tightening the title battle going forward.
  • The race featured several cautions that shaped restarts, including a debris caution when Corey Aiken lost a rear gear and a first-restart spin by pole-sitter Carson Brown who recovered to finish third.
  • Annunziata is scheduled to make a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series start the day after Lime Rock, and the ARCA schedule resumes with a short break before the series returns to a combined event at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
