IMSA Star Jordan Taylor to Compete in Thrilling NASCAR Truck Race at Lime Rock

He previously raced in the Garage 56 NASCAR program at Le Mans in 2023 and has also started events in both the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series. Taylor filled in for Chase Elliott during the Cup race at COTA two years ago, qualifying fourth and finishing 24th after a late-race incident.

He competed in two Xfinity races that year, finishing 27th at Portland and 16th at the Charlotte Roval, adding to his road-course resume. A strong lineup is set for the Lime Rock round, including Cam Waters—a Supercars star from Australia—who will drive the No. 66 ThorSport Racing Ford.

Other drivers on the entry list include Brent Crews, Grant Enfinger, Corey Heim, Jake Garcia, Tanner Gray, Giovanni Ruggiero, Tyler Ankrum, Daniel Hemric, Ryan London, Dawson Sutton, Dale Quarterley, Frankie Muniz, Layne Riggs, Chandler Smith, Matt Mills, Josh Bilicki, Kaden Honeycutt, Stewart Friesen, Timmy Hill, Rajah Caruth, Spencer Boyd, Andres Perez De Lara, Connor Mosack, Matt Crafton, Jack Wood, Ty Majeski, Ben Rhodes, and Richard Lushes.

Taylor’s road racing achievements include back-to-back GTLM titles in 2020 and 2021 and the 2017 IMSA prototype championship. He has three Rolex 24 at Daytona wins to his name—two in overall classification—and a class win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Victories at other endurance classics like the Sebring 12 Hours, Sahlen’s Six Hours at Watkins Glen, and Petit Le Mans highlight his skill and experience on challenging circuits. The event at Lime Rock is attracting attention thanks to its unique mix of regulars and road-course specialists.

With both experienced NASCAR racers and drivers known for their prowess in other disciplines, the race is expected to provide memorable battles and strong competition around the tight Lime Rock layout. Fans are looking forward to seeing how Taylor and Spire Motorsports perform against the deep field.

The combination of seasoned pros and newcomers promises an exciting day of racing, as a new chapter for the Truck Series begins on the twists and turns of Lime Rock Park.
