At 21 years old, Rajah Caruth is racing through obstacles to become one of the greatest to hit the track. 🏎️💨⁠
⁠
There are currently only four Black drivers in NASCAR, and Caruth is the youngest. ⁠
⁠
The Winston-Salem State University student became obsessed with the sport at a young age through the movie 'Cars' and attended his first NASCAR race in 2014. He's always been committed to making it to the other side of the fence. ⁠
⁠
When asked about his ultimate goal in NASCAR, Caruth stated: ⁠
"I want to be the best racer that I can be but also pay my dues and leave the sport better than it was when I first arrived on the scene, for those who do and don’t look like me alike."⁠
⁠
As he prepares for his 2024 season, he's eager to show the world that although racing is everything to him, he is more than a racer. ⁠
