Tanner Gray to Drive CBYD Tundra at Historic Connecticut Road Course
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 25, 2026) – TRICON Garage (TRICON) is pleased to announce that Call Before You Dig, Inc. (CBYD) and Manafort Brothers, Inc. will return to partner with the championship-winning organization for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) race at Lime Rock Park. CBYD, a Connecticut-based non-profit dedicated to promoting excavation safety, will serve as the primary partner on Tanner Gray’s No. 15 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for the series’ second-ever outing at the famed venue.
CBYD is a free service available to anyone planning excavation work in Connecticut, providing critical information about the location of underground utility pipes and cables at proposed work sites. Its one-call notification system plays a critical role in preventing damage to underground utilities during excavation projects, ensuring the safety of communities and individuals.
Joining CBYD as co-sponsors of the No. 15 entry are Manafort Brothers and CWPM Waste Removal & Recycling Services. Manafort Brothers is a nationally recognized leader in construction and transit infrastructure, while CWPM is a trusted provider of waste removal and recycling services for communities in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
“Partnering for a second year with TRICON Garage is a great opportunity to connect with fans while reinforcing the importance of safe digging,” said Christopher Tralli, President of CBYD. “We’re proud to join Manafort Brothers, Inc. and CWPM Waste Removal & Recycling to sponsor the No. 15 truck driven by Tanner Gray. CBYD is excited to expand awareness of the ‘Call Before You Dig’ message among a wider audience and ensure safety remains top of mind across our communities.”
Gray, a third-generation racer and the longest-tenured driver at TRICON, scored a top-15 finish at the inaugural Lime Rock Park event in 2025. Throughout his seven-year NCTS career, Gray has secured 33 top-10s, 13 top-fives and a career-best runner-up finish on two occasions.
The Artesia, N.M., native’s diverse racing background includes a NHRA Pro Stock Championship, becoming the youngest driver to secure a professional series title in NHRA history before transitioning to stock-car racing. He has since collected two ARCA Menards Series wins as well as an ARCA East Series victory. Last season, the 26-year-old tied his career-high in the final NCTS championship standings while also recording a runner-up finish at Pocono Raceway.
“I’m thrilled to return to Lime Rock Park alongside CBYD, Manafort Brothers and CWPM,” said Gray. “Having it be a home race for them adds an extra layer of motivation for all of us. I feel like I’ve made a lot of strides in my road racing over the last few seasons, so getting another shot at Lime Rock is something I’ve had circled on the calendar. TRICON was strong here last season, so I’m hoping we can put together a strong run and give them a finish they can be proud of.”
The LiUNA 150 from Lime Rock Park will be televised live on FS1 on Saturday, July 11 at 1:00 P.M. ET, with radio coverage provided by the NASCAR Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
