With NASCAR celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2023, The Associated Press asked Rajah Caruth, a 20-year-old graduate of the “Drive for Diversity” program and a student at Winston-Salem State, to write an essay on the series and its role in his life.
, to write an essay on the series and its role in his life:To some, NASCAR is people from the South driving in circles. To some, it may be something cool to catch on television. For others, it is something that they were born into, were groomed for or something that they just happen to be good at.What stemmed from my first viewing of Pixar’s “Cars” film in 2006 has become part of my identity and soul.
From “NASCAR: The Complete History” by Greg Fielden shows like “NASCAR Now” on ESPN with Dr. Jerry Punch and Ricky Craven and “WindTunnel” by Dave Despain, and even NASCAR stop motions and video game content on YouTube. I grew to love this sport the more I learned and the more I’ve gotten to know the individuals that make it happen.
The fact that I am the young Black man who gets to add to that prolific legacy and start my own is tremendous to me, and I cannot wait to show what I’ve got on the racetrack. I welcome the chance to represent the Scott family, my blood family, those who have supported me up to this point and those who look like me, share my background and ambitions. With great power comes great responsibility.
