HendrickCars.com to sponsor Rajah Caruth for full 23 Truck Series races
HendrickCars.com has extended its partnership with Rajah Caruth and the Spire Motorsports’ No. 71 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, Spire Motorsports announced Wednesday.
HendrickCars.com will sponsor Caruth for the full 23 Truck Series races this season. The company previously announced it would serve as Caruth’s primary sponsor for 10 races.
Caruth, 21, has been impressive to open up the season. He notched a P3 finish in the Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway. He then raced his way to a P8 result in the Fr8 208 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
“Rajah has had a tremendous start to 2024,” said Gary Davis, executive vice president, Hendrick Automotive Group. “When you combine his on-track potential, how he represents himself and HendrickCars.com, his impressive social media presence, and the incredible fan support he receives, we couldn’t pass on supporting him for the entire season.”
Caruth is in his second full-time season in the Truck Series, his first, however, with Spire Motorsports. He spent the 2023 season with GMS Motorsports, piloting the No. 24 Chevrolet Silverado. Caruth finished 16th in the points standings.
Rajah Caruth off to impressive start in 2024
He said in a statement that HendrickCars.com extending its partnership with him has left him “speechless.”
“It’s pretty special to have HendrickCars.com on my chest,” Caruth said. “I think about Phoenix last year when I drove the Xfinity car for Hendrick Motorsports that, within itself, was an incredible moment. Knowing that HendrickCars.com has extended their relationship with Spire Motorsports and my No. 71 team kind of leaves me speechless.
“I’m super grateful because they don’t do that for just anyone. For me to be affiliated with that group and have their support is an honor. I’m excited to get on with the rest of the season. We’ve gotten off to a good start and I think the race in Las Vegas on Friday night is going to show our potential for the rest of the season.”
Caruth will make his third start with HendrickCars.com on his hood in this Friday’s Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“After a strong start to the season, Rajah Caruth and the No 71 team have a lot of positive momentum heading into Las Vegas,” Spire Motorsports president Doug Duchardt said. “This is great news and we’re really proud HendrickCars.com has decided to extend its support to fill out the entire season. Rajah is one NASCAR’s brightest young driving talents. He’s been very impressive in the first two races of 2024.
“He has tremendous potential, and we expect to see him racing for wins on a regular basis. We’re confident we’ll see Rajah and the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Silverado in Victory Lane before long.”
