The Xfinity Series is back at Pocono Raceway on July 23, and Rajah Caruth is using the opportunity to showcase a new scheme. He will compete at the Tricky Triangle while highlighting Martin De Porres Youth and Family Services.
The part-time Xfinity Series driver and ARCA Menards Series points leader teased the new scheme on July 18. He and Alpha Prime Racing then revealed the full look on July 19. The No. 44 will feature a blue and white design with the Martin De Porres Youth and Family Services logo on the hood. The car will also feature associate partner logos for Virginia State University and Circle Pay among others.
🎨 New paint for @rajahcaruth_!
Martin De Porres and @circlepay join the 44 team this weekend at @PoconoRaceway.
Established in 1974, Martin De Porres Group Homes has focused on providing community-based services for at-risk youth in Queens, N.Y. The goal is to uplift those that are most vulnerable in society, and Caruth has been a staunch supporter of the organization. Now he will further showcase that partnership while racing at the 2.5-mile Pennsylvania track.

Caruth Has Made 2 Starts for Alpha Prime Racing
GettyRajah Caruth will make his Truck Series debut at WWTR.
The trip to Pocono Raceway will present another opportunity for Caruth to gain experience in the Xfinity Series. He made his series debut in 2022, and he has made two starts so far for Alpha Prime Racing.
Caruth took on the series for the first time at Richmond Raceway. He started 22nd and finished 24th while keeping the No. 44 Chevrolet Camaro clean. He then returned to the entry at Dover Motor Speedway. Caruth qualified 15th and showed some speed. However, his day came to an early end after a mechanical issue.
The trip to Pocono Raceway will be Caruth’s third start of the season. He also has three other starts planned. He will finish out his part-time schedule with trips to Kansas Speedway (September 10), Martinsville Speedway (October 29), and Phoenix Raceway (November 5).
Along with his Xfinity Series starts, Caruth has also suited up for one Camping World Truck Series race. He joined Spire Motorsports at World Wide Technology Raceway and turned in a solid performance. He started 19th in the No. 7 — a truck that has reached Victory Lane — and he finished 11th overall while several other drivers were involved in crashes.
