Rajah Caruth joins JR Motorsports for 2026 NASCAR Xfinity season
Rajah Caruth has earned a ride in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Last week, JR Motorsports announced that Caruth will run a majority of the 2026 Xfinity Series season in the No. 88 car, replacing Connor Zilisch. Caruth currently drives full-time with Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Truck Series.
The driver of the No. 71 truck has experience in the Xfinity Series, most notably in the No. 17 car for Hendrick Motorsports. However, this is a fantastic opportunity for Caruth, who will fill out his Xfinity Series schedule with Jordan Anderson Racing in 2026.
Caruth might not be full-time with JR Motorsports, but he has enough races in the No. 88 car to make him a playoff contender. The 23-year-old driver barely missed the Championship 4 in the Truck Series this season and hopes to redeem himself in 2026 with JR Motorsports and Jordan Anderson Racing.
