Skip Barber\u2019s barber set to cut hair as a fundraiser for Paul Newman\u2019s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp<\/em><\/p>\n

LAKEVILLE, CONN. (16 JULY 2024)<\/b>\u00a0Lime Rock Park and Skip Barber have always been \u201ca cut above the rest,\u201d and on Saturday, that will become a literal statement as The Park renames the Lime Rock Gear Shop to \u201cThe Barber Shop\u201d as part of the Year of Skip Barber celebration. The dedication ceremony will take place on Saturday, June 20, at noon in front of the newly rebranded shop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To commemorate this special occasion, Skip Barber\u2019s personal barber, Corey \u201cSmitty\u201d Smith will be cutting Skip Barber\u2019s hair live at 12 p.m. on Saturday.\u00a0 Fans are also invited to participate in this unique event. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the deck outside of The Barber Shop, Smitty will be offering haircuts to attendees, with a minimum suggested donation of $40 made to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a non-profit founded by Paul Newman that is dedicated to providing \u201ca different kind of healing\u201d to seriously ill children and their families.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to honor Skip Barber in this fun and whimsical way,\u201d said Lime Rock Park Chief Marketing Officer Jamie Kistner. \u201cThe Barber Shop will stand as a tribute to Skip\u2019s enduring influence on motorsports and Lime Rock Park. We invite everyone to join us for this celebration and support a great cause; 100 percent of all the money raised from the haircuts will go back to Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two generations of Smiths have been responsible for Barber\u2019s signature hairstyle. Smitty\u2019s uncle Ronnie Smith was a car enthusiast and became Skip\u2019s barber in the 90s. Following Ronnie\u2019s passing in 2016, Smitty took over Skip as a client and has been cutting his hair at his shop in Sharon, Conn., ever since.<\/p>\n
