Rajah Caruth achieved his best-ever finish of second place at Daytona in his first race with Spire. Bubba Wallace and Rajah Caruth are the only two drivers from the African American community who compete full-time in NASCAR. Wallace races for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing in the premier Cup Series, while Caruth races for Hendrick Motorsports Chevy in the Truck Series for Spire Motorsports.
Both drivers secured impressive top-5 finishes in their respective championships at Daytona, despite surviving a major crash at the end. However, it was Caruth who caused the big wreck in the Truck event. After the race, Wallace confronted Caruth about the incident, as his mistake led to the collision.
Wallace discussed the incident and how he made Caruth acknowledge his errors in an appearance on the Door Bumper Clear podcast after the Daytona 500. Wallace analyzed the final laps of the race and approached Caruth to apologize for his mistake and the resulting wreck.
The reaction from NASCAR fans on social media to Bubba Wallace’s discussion on the podcast was mixed but mostly positive. Some fans commended Wallace for taking the initiative and acting as a mentor, addressing the issue of lack of respect in NASCAR. However, there were also fans who used this opportunity to criticize Wallace for his own past mistakes. As one of the most disliked drivers in the garage, Wallace received negative comments as well.
It’s hypocritical to criticize a young driver for not making the right moves to win at Daytona when you yourself have never made those moves. But if you’re seeking extra attention and media coverage, then go ahead.
At the end of the day, it’s all about love. Rajah is fortunate to have someone like Bubba Wallace in his corner.
When Bubba calls you out, you know it’s serious.
This is the real deal. This is honesty, personality, and the reason why we listen to podcasts. Bubba Wallace has always been genuine, and as a fan since his debut, I believe this only helps him. Keep your head up, Rajah!
Rajah continuously caused wrecks for himself and others, yet he not only received a few starts for Hendrick but also got an upgraded truck ride, while Enfinger had his title stolen and had to build a two-star team.
It looked like a strange four-wheel slide coming off turn two for a brief moment, and then it just veered off.
