Events DC, the official convention and sports authority of Washington, DC, proudly announces its partnership as the primary sponsor of NASCAR driver Rajah Caruth for the BetRivers 200 at Dover Motor Speedway, marking his return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday, July 19 at 4:30 PM.
NASCAR driver Rajah Caruth said, “I’m excited to return to the Xfinity Series this weekend at one of my home tracks with Events DC, Team Chevy, and Jordan Anderson Racing. Events DC has been a part of my village since my early career in late models and ARCA, and to bring them to the national series stage of NASCAR in Dover at the Monster Mile is a full circle moment. I’ve known Jordan since 2020 and witnessed his group’s rise into being a contending Xfinity team-I am thankful Chevy made the connection for us to bring this race together. I'm looking forward to having fun and putting on a good show for the DMV-faithful. Also, I'm excited to see how much I’ve improved since my last Xfinity start in the fall of 2023!”
Caruth will pilot the No. 32 Chevrolet for Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport, a rising Xfinity Series team that has a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing. Alongside Events DC, support for the race effort includes industry giants General Motors and Chevrolet, reinforcing a powerful alliance for one of motorsport’s most promising young stars.
“Events DC is thrilled to sponsor Rajah Caruth, a proud Washington, DC native, as he returns to the NASCAR Xfinity Series,” said Events DC President and CEO Angie M. Gates. “Rajah’s dedication and talent exemplify the spirit of our city and solidifies our status as the Sports Capital. This partnership underscores our commitment to supporting local talent and world-class sporting events. We look forward to cheering him on as he strives for victory.”
A proud native of Washington, DC, Caruth has rapidly emerged as a fan favorite and standout competitor. Caruth, recognized as the 2024 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Most Popular Driver, currently drives the No. 71 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports, competing for the Truck Series championship title.
Following a challenging start to the 2025 season, Caruth and his team have demonstrated grit and resilience. In June, he secured his second career Truck Series victory at the Rackley Roofing 200 at Nashville Superspeedway, showcasing his ability to bounce back under pressure.
