Rajah Caruth achieved his best position of second place at Daytona in his first race with Spire. Bubba Wallace and Rajah Caruth are the only two African-American drivers competing full-time in NASCAR. Wallace races for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing team in the Cup Series, while Caruth races for the Hendrick Motorsports Chevy team in the Truck Series of Spire Motorsports.
Both drivers managed impressive top-5 finishes in their respective championships at Daytona, despite surviving a major accident at the end. However, it was Caruth who caused the big accident in the truck race. 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 mistakes 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 accident.
The reaction of NASCAR fans on social media to Bubba Wallace’s discussion on the podcast was mixed, but mostly positive. Some fans praised 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 took this opportunity to criticize Wallace for his own past mistakes. As one of the most disliked drivers in the paddock, Wallace also received negative comments.
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 looking for extra attention and media coverage, then go ahead.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to love. Rajah is lucky to have someone like Bubba Wallace by his side.
When Bubba calls you, you know it’s serious.
That’s real. That’s 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 that only helps him. Keep your head up, Rajah!
Rajah consistently caused accidents for himself and others, but not only did he receive some opportunities at Hendrick, he also got an improved truck, while Enfinger had his title stolen and had to build a two-star team.
It looked like a weird four-wheel slide coming out of turn two for a brief moment and then just drifted away.
