Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes in Rajah Caruth on the heels of announcing Rajah as a part-time driver for JRM in the #88 car next season. Rajah’s path to prominence in the NASCAR national scene had a unique start - as he went from iRacing to racing in real life in a matter of years. After finding success in an e-racing league, Rajah was invited to try out for the Rev Racing combine. From there, he got seat time in a legend's car during the Summer Shootout Series held at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He’d move quickly through the late model stock ranks, where he found victory lane at famed short tracks like Greenville, Hickory, and Tri-County. Although he was a “late bloomer” in racing by today’s standards, his experience and determination led him to a full-time Truck opportunity, where he continues to make history as he marches towards this year’s Championship Four.
