Rajah Caruth won his first victory of the 2025 season by winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, May 30.

In the second win of his career, it ended a 31-race winless streak for Caruth and the No. 71 Chevrolet Silverado as Caruth held off Corey Heim and Layne Riggs, who came in second and third, respectively. 

During the hotly contested race, Caruth took the lead on pit road at the end of the second stage and never surrendered it, leading the final 51 laps 0.518 seconds ahead of Heim and 0.629 seconds ahead of Riggs. The victory is the ninth win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Spire Motorsports, with Caruth becoming just the third driver to earn multiple victories for the organization in the NASCAR Truck Series, along with Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch.

“I didn't expect that at all. Those guys were breathing down my neck the whole run. My pit crew won that race -- Jarius, Zico, Dawson, Josh, Cody -- they won that race for us,” Caruth said following the race. “Thanks to them, thanks to everyone at HendrickCars.com, the men and women at Spire Motorsports. We've been off this year, but good to get a dub tonight, man. I'm out of breath."

“I was just asking myself, ‘How bad do you want it?” Caruth added. “I don’t know, I just tried my best and we had clean air and their stuff was better, but I just did my best. That was it.”

Speaking with reporters, Heim lauded Caruth for his performance in the race.

“But big congrats to Rajah. He did an awesome job managing from the lead, and I was really free behind him, and he made pretty much the right choice every time as for where I was gonna go,” Heim said. “ It's nice racing against people that aren't going to wreck you, racing for the race lead."

Because of his victory, Caruth secured a spot in the Craftsman Truck Series Playoffs.

The next NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race will take place on June 7 at the Michigan International Speedway, the first event at the racetrack in several years.
