Achieving The Dream

Rajah Caruth's journey to victory lane ends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the newest driver at Spire Motorsports was able to piece together a perfect race and score his first career Craftsman Truck Series win! The 71 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet ran pretty strong throughout the night at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which saw Rajah Caruth start the race from pole position and led 38 laps before capitalizing on the late-race pitroad troubles for his nearest rivals that ultimately helped him win his 1st career NCTS race! This is Rajah Caruth's first career Nascar Craftsman Truck Series win in his 30th start and his first victory of the season, which locks him into the Nascar Craftsman Truck Series playoffs for the 1st time in his career!

More Questions Than Answers

The Layne Riggs/Front Row Motorsports still have more questions than answers following the first non-superspeedway race of the year as the team that won the title in 2022 has lost a step early on in 2024. The 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford started the race from the back of the field after making unapproved adjustments prior to the event and struggled throughout the night that only saw him fall one spot short from his original starting spot in the final results. This is Layne Riggs' best finish of the 2024 Nascar Craftsman Truck Series season so far, but he currently sits outside the top 30 in the championship standings heading into the next race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
