Winston-Salem State alum Rajah Caruth is back in the winner’s circle in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Caruth held off Corey Heim and Layne Riggs over the final 15 laps to win Friday night’s Rackley Roofing 200 at Nashville Superspeedway.
“I didn’t expect that at all — those guys were breathing down my neck the whole run,” Caruth told NASCAR.com “My pit crew won that race. They won the race for us, got us off pit road twice.”
“We’ve been off this year, but it was good to get it done tonight. That was a lot of fun,” Caruth continued. “I asked myself, ‘How bad do you want it?’ I just tried my best, and we had clean air. Their stuff was better, but I just did my best. That was it.”

The win is Caruth’s second career triumph on the Craftsman Truck circuit. His first win was the Victoria’s Voice Foundation at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March of 2024. Caruth earned his bachelor’s degree in Motorsports Management from Winston-Salem State while simultaneously racing cars and trucks across the country.
