The 21-year-old emerged as the winner in the recent NASCAR Truck Series race held in Las Vegas. This remarkable achievement solidified his place in history as only the third black driver to win in the sport. Even before this groundbreaking moment, Caruth had already gained considerable recognition and support from both the racing community and fans. His unwavering dedication and strong work ethic have made him a beloved figure among enthusiasts. During a recent podcast, the young driver shared a peculiar incident involving a fan’s autograph request.
Thanks to his popularity, the winner of the Las Vegas race has established a reputation for being accessible and friendly with fans. As a result, Caruth has undoubtedly signed numerous autographs throughout his racing career. However, during the podcast, he revealed the most unusual item he has been asked to sign – a fan’s beer cap at Pocono. This unexpected request amused Caruth and garnered agreement from the other podcast participants. Despite the lighthearted atmosphere of the situation, the driver is now focused on closing the points gap and fighting for the championship after his triumph in Sin City.
Following his victory last week, celebrations erupted across the country. However, Caruth has since shifted his focus entirely to the upcoming race in Tennessee. In the same podcast, he shared his personal mantra for success, emphasizing the importance of hard work. Despite receiving praise from other drivers for his exceptional performance in Vegas, the D4D graduate remains committed to giving his best and seizing every opportunity that comes his way.
Meanwhile, the race at Bristol Motor Speedway is still a week away. This provides the 21-year-old enough time to prepare for the event and he is expected to fiercely compete against the current championship leader.
