💧 Sunday Postponement Timing
Early morning preparation: Lime Rock Park typically opens gates at 7 a.m. ET, with the paddock and track team initiating pre-race routines starting between 7–8 a.m. ET . Likely race start window: Considering the standard schedule and track day flow, the Truck race would likely begin between 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. ET. This allows space for warm‑ups, inspections, and ARCA’s postponed race if needed—afternoon slots are heavily used by ARCA . Fallback to original broadcast slot: If possible, organizers will try to stick close to the 1 p.m. ET televised window, especially given FOX’s scheduled coverage .
✅ What Fans Should Do
Plan to arrive by 7–8 a.m. to ensure you don’t miss any rescheduled activities. Keep an eye on official announcements via Lime Rock Park’s main channels or ARCA/NASCAR info lines once the rain subsides. Aim for readiness by 10:30 a.m., with a reasonable window stretching up until kickoff around 1 p.m.
