Riggs has won three of the last four. Honeycutt beat him at the only natural road course this year. Majeski nearly won this race twelve months ago. Five names, five prices, all receipts.
Five names, five prices, all receipts. LiUNA 150 · Lime Rock Park · Saturday, July 11 · 1 PM ET, FS1 · By PitByNumbers Staff · 5 min read The King Is Gone. The Throne Isn’t.
Last year’s Lime Rock race wasn’t a race — it was a coronation. Corey Heim started on the pole, won both stages, and led 99 of the 100 laps. One lap escaped him.
That’s the whole story of the inaugural LiUNA 150. Heim isn’t entered this weekend. The reigning champ runs a part-time Truck slate these days between Cup starts for 23XI — he won on the streets of San Diego in a Cup car three weeks ago — and Lime Rock didn’t make his schedule.
Nobody’s pulling double duty from Atlanta either: 33 trucks, everybody makes the show, and for the first time this track is genuinely up for grabs. The truck that dominated it is still here, though. It just has a new driver.
More on that in a minute. The market has installed Layne Riggs as the man to beat at +200, and the résumé backs it: points leader, four wins, three of them in his last four starts. But there’s a crack in the chalk that the price doesn’t show, and it’s the entire reason this race is worth betting instead of watching.
Five drivers can win this thing Saturday. Here’s the case for each. Get the full Lime Rock Trucks card before the green flag.
1. Layne Riggs — Win +200 (BetRivers) Start with the obvious: Layne Riggs is having one of the great Truck Series seasons in recent memory. Four wins.
The points lead by a country mile. Three victories in his last four starts — Charlotte, Nashville, San Diego — and the Nashville one was total annihilation, 99 laps led from the pole. He also has receipts at this specific track: last year at Lime Rock he was the only driver in the field besides Heim to lead a lap, and he finished second in both stages before a late-race incident dropped him back.
So why isn’t this a bet-the-house price? Because of the one line on his sheet the market is ignoring. Riggs’s two road-course wins this season came at St. Petersburg and San Diego — street circuits, concrete canyons, races decided by restarts and fuel calls.
The one natural-terrain road course the series has run this year was Watkins Glen in May, and Riggs finished 21st. Lime Rock is natural terrain. Elevation, blind crests, grass waiting off every exit.
It’s the Glen’s little brother, not another street fight. 2. Kaden Honeycutt — Win +450 (BetRivers) Here’s the inheritance story of the weekend: Kaden Honeycutt drives the No.
11 TRICON Garage Toyota — the same team and truck number that led 99 of 100 laps here twelve months ago, the truck that won 12 races and the 2025 championship. Honeycutt knows exactly what that machine can do, because he spent last season finishing second in points to it. Now he’s in it, the champ’s off running his part-time Cup-and-Truck schedule, and the equipment, the setup sheet, and the road-course notebook stayed behind.
And he’s earned the keys. Honeycutt won Watkins Glen in May — the only natural-terrain road course the Trucks have run this season, the exact surface type Lime Rock is, the race where Riggs finished 21st. He’s second in points, he put the truck on the pole at San Diego and led early before the street-race chaos shuffled him to 23rd, and since May he’s posted top-fours at Dover, Charlotte and Michigan.
The one blemish is this track itself: he started sixth here last year and faded to twelfth. 3. Ty Majeski — Win +800 (BetRivers) Ty Majeski was twelve months and one chaotic restart from being the answer to a trivia question: who won the first Truck race at Lime Rock? He started fourth, banked stage points in both segments, survived the late mess that ate half the field, and finished second — the best non-Heim truck.
Nobody entered this weekend has a better Lime Rock résumé — the only guy with a better one didn’t enter. The 2026 version of Majeski is two different drivers wearing one firesuit. Road-course Majeski: runner-up at St.
Petersburg, fifth at San Diego — top five in two of the three road races. Oval Majeski: a 35th at Michigan from the pole and a 33rd at Charlotte, the kind of days that explain why he sits sixth in points instead of second. Saturday belongs to the first guy.
The ThorSport No. 88 has been bankable on every track with right AND left turns this season. 4.
Chandler Smith — Win +1100 (BetRivers) Chandler Smith is the compounder nobody talks about. Third in points, and his road-course record over the past year is a metronome: sixth here at Lime Rock last summer, fourth at St. Petersburg, fifth at Watkins Glen.
Three top-sixes in his last four road starts — the only miss was San Diego, where the street-race wreckfest collected him along with half the front-runners. He doesn’t dominate these races. He just finishes them in the frame, every single time, while faster trucks find the grass.
At most tracks that profile is a top-five bet, not a win bet. Lime Rock is not most tracks. A hundred laps on a tight, narrow ribbon where last year’s race was decided by late restarts stacking the field — that’s exactly the script where the guy who never puts a wheel wrong is suddenly leading with ten to go.
The Front Row Motorsports Ford has given him top-five pace at every track type this year. He needs one restart to break right. 5.
Daniel Hemric — Win +2200 (BetRivers) Read Daniel Hemric’s road-course finishes this season in order: eighth at St. Petersburg, fourth at Watkins Glen, second at San Diego. Now read where he started those races: 34th, 3rd, 32nd.
The man drove from 32nd to second on a street course where passing was supposedly impossible. It was one of the best road-course drives anybody in this series has produced all year, and the market’s response was to price him at 22-to-1. The case is simple: he’s the hottest road racer in the field who isn’t named on a marquee.
Ninth here last year, eighth in points, and a 35-year-old veteran’s patience on a track where the biggest mistake is usually your own. The honest math is that Hemric hasn’t actually won one of these yet — the trend line points at victory lane, but it hasn’t arrived — and his qualifying puts him in traffic that his truck then has to clear. That’s what 22-to-1 prices.
But this is a hundred laps at a track built for chaos, and the progression only has one number left. Five trucks, one throne. Riggs at +200 is the rightful favorite with a natural-terrain question mark the price refuses to acknowledge.
Honeycutt at +450 owns the answer to that exact question — and the truck that owned this track. Majeski at +800 nearly won this race twelve months ago. Smith at +1100 never makes mistakes at a track that punishes everybody who does.
And Hemric at +2200 is the arithmetic bet: eighth, fourth, second, and one number left. Heim led 99 of 100 laps here last year and took the crown with him when he left. Somebody’s getting handed a throne Saturday afternoon.
