DOVER, Del. — Rajah Caruth will return to the NASCAR Xfinity Series in a Jordan Anderson Racing car July 19 at Dover Motor Speedway.
Caruth will wheel the No. 32 Events DC Chevrolet Camaro at Dover. It will be his first Xfinity Series start since finishing 14th with Hendrick Motorsports in the 2023 season finale at Phoenix Raceway.
“This weekend marks a special moment for our team as rising star Rajah Caruth joins us in the No. 32 Chevrolet at Dover with the support of Events DC. Rajah’s proven talent and hometown pride make this a powerful opportunity to showcase what we can achieve together on one of NASCAR’s toughest tracks – the Monster Mile,” Jordan Anderson Racing stated on social media.
Since his most recent Xfinity start, Caruth has been racing full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Spire Motorsports with full backing from HendrickCars.com. Three races into his first season with Spire, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March 2024, Caruth earned his first career win and locked himself into the playoffs. Then, in May 2025, Caruth earned his second playoff berth with a fierce win at Nashville Superspeedway.

Caruth has 18 other Xfinity starts under his belt, all with Alpha Prime Racing. He raced for them seven times in 2022 and 11 times in 2023 and earned his career-best finish – 12th – two years in a row in the fall Martinsville race. In all, he has seven top-20 finishes with Alpha Prime, mostly at driver-focused tracks like Martinsville, Phoenix, Darlington, Bristol and the Charlotte Roval.
Meanwhile, Jake Finch will step into his old Xfinity ride – the No. 17 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports – for his series debut.
