2Rajah Caruth – Winston-Salem State University
Winston-Salem State University sophomore Rajah Caruth developed a love for NASCAR at a very early age. He knew he wanted to be a racecar driver when he saw his first race in person at Richmond Raceway in Virginia at the age of 14. Now at not even 20 years old, he is on track to becoming the 8th African American in NASCAR history to make a national series debut. In 2022, the history-maker will race part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series team with “Alpha Prime Racing,” a venture with Caesar Bacarella and Tommy Joe Martins .
Never missing an opportunity to work toward his dreams, he currently majors in Motorsport Management at WSSU.
