Inaugural Russ Truelove Award
Waterbury’s Russ Truelove, one of the first NASCAR drivers, has for years been bringing
his crowd-pulling, crowd-pleasing authentic 1956 NASCAR Mercury Monterey stock car to
Lime Rock Park. Going forward, the Russ Truelove Award will be presented at Sunday in
the Park to those demonstrating exceptional dedication to the car-showing hobby. Russ is
