CONCORD, N.C. – ARCA Menards Series standout Rajah Caruth will make his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) debut aboard the Spire Motorsports No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado in Saturday’s Toyota 200 presented by CK Power at World Wide Technology Raceway.
Caruth, 19, has logged five ARCA Menards Series starts in 2022. The Washington D.C., native has earned three top-five and four top-10 finishes over those five races, including a career-best second-place finish two weeks ago at Kansas Speedway. He is currently the division’s championship points leader a quarter of the way through the season.
“I’m thrilled to make my NASCAR Camping World Truck Series debut this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway with Spire Motorsports and Chevrolet,” Caruth said. “To drive the Confluence Music Festival Chevrolet Silverado and represent the Steward family and World Wide Technology is truly an honor. I’m grateful to represent them on and off the racetrack. This is the big break I’ve been striving for and I’m going to make it count.”
Confluence Festival: Crossroads of Concert & Community will be the primary sponsor on the truck.
The Confluence Festival will shift to World Wide Technology Raceway June 3-5, featuring live entertainment from a diverse lineup of musical acts including Old Dominion, Nelly, Cole Swindell, Kameron Marlowe and numerous other artist and performers.
