Brent Crews Sells Micro Sprints to Fund New NASCAR Truck Team, Friends Zilisch and Love Not Involved
After three races with Tricon Garage in the No. 1 Toyota Tundra, Brent Crews has gone all in on NASCAR Truck Racing. The rising Toyota development driver sold his Micro Sprints to fund his own Truck team, Brent Crews Motorsports, as an owner and driver. The 17-year-old's first race in the No. 70 Toyota Tundra will be next weekend at Watkins Glen, as he's decided that he doesn't want to sit on the sidelines of the sport. "I don't really know where this is going to go, but with all the buzz around road course guys right now, it didn't seem right to miss Watkins Glen," Crews said in a press release. "I love the track. Watching on TV was NOT an option." Crews is following in the footsteps of mentors Brian Keselowski and Nick Tucker, who both funded truck teams on shoestring budgets at portions of their careers. Tucker now owns and operates Nitro Motorsports, where Crews will run BCM out of in the early stages of the team before investing in a race shop. I grew up going to dinner on race weekends with guys like Nick Tucker and Brian Keselowski listening to stories about building race cars and engines out of spare parts and barely getting to the track,' Crews said in his press release. 'Even though everyone would tell them they were crazy, it always sounded like so much fun to me. When we started talking about me buying a truck to run Watkins Glen, no one was willing to tell me it was a bad idea and it just kind of snowballed from there. I sold all my micro sprints to raise some of the money and here we are." Before Friday's ARCA race at Iowa Speedway, Crews had to clarify one misunderstanding. When he announced that he was starting his own team, he overexaggerated the roles of his friends and racing competitors Jesse Love and Connor Zilisch, who both race for Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. "Connor and Jesse are great friends of mine, but we went a little overboard in exaggerating their roles," Crews wrote on X. "To be clear, they have no official capacity, other than they are friends who want me to do well." Brent Crews would go on to finish second in the Atlas 150 ARCA race at Iowa Speedway. Both Zilisch and Love posted on X similar explanations, sharing their teams and manufacturers to clear the air about their involvement. Clearly, making it known that neither of them has any association with Toyota. Crews has one more race with Tricon scheduled this season at Richmond, that weekend he'll strap into the No. 1 truck instead of the No. 70.

Rajah Caruth on his post-victory injury at Nashville, handling pressure and more: 12 Questions
Each week, The Athletic asks the same 12 questions to a different race car driver. Up next: NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Rajah Caruth of Spire Motorsports. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity, but the full version is available on the 12 Questions podcast. 1. What was one of the first autographs you got as a kid, and what do you remember about that moment? So I played a lot of sports growing up — basketball, track and field, soccer — and I did a couple summers with the D.C. United youth summer program. I had a jersey signed by Bobby Boswell. He was a defender who used to play for D.C. United. I also had a Bill Hamid signature — he was the goalie. My first racing one was Bubba (Wallace). I had an old Roush shirt, and he signed it for me when I met him for the first time at the All-Star Race in 2018. Advertisement Did you go to a lot of D.C. United games? Yes, at the old RFK Stadium. It'll be cool if they bring that back. I had track meets at a high school nearby, and my childhood house wasn't that far from it either. Definitely cool to reminisce about all those memories. 2. What is the most miserable you've ever been inside of a race car? My first time at Michigan in ARCA. The sway bar broke — the arm on the left side — so it would just pick up the car and it was super rolled-over in the corner. It drove terribly. I was also sick beforehand, and I had crazy carbon monoxide poisoning. So I had to go to the care center. Technically you're not supposed to take pictures, but I took a selfie for my own personal diary. … I'd say the hardest race physically was a CARS Tour race last year at Florence. It was so hot. That was the most tired I felt from anything I drove last year — any Truck race, any Xfinity race. I was worn out from a Late Model Stock race at Florence. 3. Outside of racing, what is your most recent memory of something you got way too competitive about? My girlfriend (actress Marsai Martin) and I play video games together, and she's really good at Mortal Kombat. I can't even lie — she kicks my tail. I have a very bad losing streak against her. She's really good at video games. So I'm definitely competitive in video games and basketball. Whether it's H-O-R-S-E or playing with buddies. But I can't play too hard — don't want to blow out a knee or anything. 4. What do people get wrong about you? I don't really know or care, to be real. I've had pressure, eyes, assumptions and opinions around me my entire driving career, so I've gotten used to it. People can think whatever they want. I just carry myself how I was raised and try to do my best. At the end of the day, I'm living my dream and trying to do my best behind the wheel — and not only behind the wheel, but how I carry myself as a person. Advertisement When I talked to Tommy Joe Martins for a story about Lavar Scott, he said you and Lavar view pressure differently than other drivers. He said so many times in your career, when you show up, you're the only Black driver, so everyone is already looking at you and the spotlight is already on. So when you show up, you're already used to the outside pressure and the pressure you feel is more internal. Is that an accurate statement? Exactly. Thank you for speaking to that. Growing up as a city kid — that's pressure every day. You have to carry yourself a certain way in terms of how you dress, how you speak, your mannerisms. That's non-negotiable. So any pressure like, 'Oh, what will you do with this opportunity?' — that really doesn't faze me. I've had that my entire career and really my entire life. 5. What kind of Uber passenger are you, and how much do you care about your Uber rating? I've never looked at my Uber rating at all. I'm usually quiet or listen to music or something like that. So I feel like I'm a pretty nice passenger. Sometimes I want to talk and I'll chop it up, but usually around people I don't know, I'm quiet and to myself — I'll just put in my headphones and listen to music. 6. I'm asking each person a wild-card question. You won the Truck Series race at Nashville, and we saw you in the media center and everything was fine. But afterward, when I was walking to my car, I saw you on your way to the care center, injured and visibly bleeding. What happened? I felt like Brad Keselowski when he cut his hand at Kentucky. Basically, a friend of mine came up to congratulate me after the race and kind of jump-scared me when I wasn't looking. It was a big trophy, and it had sharp edges and my chin was right there. So it was just worst-case scenario (and the trophy cut his chin open). But it's a fun memory now. I had to get stitches and stuff. Thankfully, I didn't have to cut my beard. Advertisement So you didn't realize it at first? No, not at all. I hit myself and thought, 'Ah, that hurt,' but figured I was OK. Then I looked down and thought, 'Oh, I'm leaking. This is not good!' … Whenever I cut my beard off, I'm pretty sure I'll see the scar. 7. This is the 16th year of these 12 Questions interviews, so I'm asking a question from a previous year. In 2013, I asked: What percent of success in NASCAR is driver, and what percent is car? It depends on what you define success as. For one person, success could be winning the race or finishing in the top five. For someone else, it could be just having a clean day or finishing in the top 20. So it's hard to say. It depends on the variables and circumstances. Let's say winning the race — what percent is driver and what percent is car? A significant amount is the driver. There are so many little things drivers are responsible for — pit road lights, getting into the pit box, driving the car to the limit every lap, not running over something, not cutting off the battery. But your car's got to be good to be in the game. That's non-negotiable. And your team — you've got to have good pit stops to where you're not going to the back of the field, your car has to live the whole race and you've got to have good calls to keep you in the fight. I look at it like football — special teams, roster depth, coaching staff, coordinators. Everybody makes the thing work. But at the end of the day, it's up to your quarterback or your playmaker to put it all together. 8. Other than one of your teammates, name a driver who you'd be one of the first to congratulate in victory lane if they won a race. Grant Enfinger, without a doubt. And Lavar, obviously. Grant was my teammate at GMS (Racing) during my rookie year. We developed a good relationship there. Now we're alliance teammates with CR7 (Motorsports) and Spire (Motorsports), and it's been great to grow as friends and get to know each other's families. We work hard together in the sim work and race hard but fair on the track. 9. How much AI technology do you use, whether for your job or your daily life? I'm kind of a movie nerd. I love sci-fi movies, and I like the Terminator series. So personally, I'm scared AI will become sentient — everyone using AI and it becoming self-aware. I don't really think that's going to happen, but overall, I don't really use AI that much. 10. What is a time in your life you thought was really challenging, but you're proud of the way you responded to it? My rookie year at GMS in 2023. That team had won championships, but in the middle of the season they announced they were switching to Toyota and the Truck program was going to close. At the same time, Grant had won earlier in the year, and all eggs were in the basket to get him a championship. … I didn't win (that year), didn't even get a top five. I had two real chances to win — I wrecked myself trying to block Ty Majeski at Kansas, and we broke while leading at Nashville. Advertisement I thought I had my one shot and blew it. But I kept going, trusted Chevy and the people in my circle. And I came out of it. It was a testament to believing in yourself, but also knowing you can't do it by yourself. 11. What needs to happen in NASCAR to take the sport to the next level of popularity? More stuff like San Diego. I hate seeing people complain on Twitter about Mexico or Chicago. I'm like, 'Bro, you guys are so one-sided.' It's a no-brainer to do things like that. It was a pain to not be in Southern California when we lost Fontana and Irwindale. The Coliseum was great, but having San Diego or something more permanent in Southern California would be super important. But also — we have to expand the sport. We can't grow by only going back to where we've already been. We're doing a good balance right now — remembering where we've come from with Rockingham and Wilkesboro and the places we've revitalized, but also going to new spots. 12. Each week, I ask a driver to give me a question for the next person. Last week was Ty Dillon and he said: What would 10-years-ago you be most proud of that you've accomplished now? So you at age 13. This is funny because 10 years ago, I went to an Xfinity race at Dover when I was 13. And I ran the Xfinity race at Dover last week. So that was pretty cool to think about. As a whole, I'd just tell myself to keep dreaming. You never know where it'll take you. Do you have a question for the next driver? The next one is Kyle Busch. How has your competitive nature changed now that you're a dad to Brexton and watching his progression? Do you still have the same fire, or do you also have equal enthusiasm about making sure Brexton is getting the opportunities and experiences he needs to do what you did — but even better?

NASCAR Truck Series Driver Stewart Friesen Severely Injured in DIRTcar Series Race
NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Stewart Friesen, who qualified for this year's playoffs with a June victory at Michigan, is undergoing treatment for multiple injuries he suffered in a vicious crash during a Super DIRTcar Series race at Autodrome Drummond in Quebec, Canada. Jessica Friesen said on social media that her husband suffered an 'unstable/open-book pelvic fracture, meaning his pelvis is broken in two or more places with a large hematoma on the area.' He also broke his right leg. She said both injuries would require surgery, and he was transferred to a larger hospital Tuesday morning for the procedures. CT scans showed no head, neck or spinal injuries. 'His vitals are stable, and after receiving additional pain medication, he is in better spirits and resting,' Jessica, who also races, posted on X (formerly Twitter). The accident occurred Monday night during a dirt modified race. It was triggered when Friesen's car collided with the end of the outside wall. That launched him into the air, and he began flipping. His car burst into flames before coming back onto the track where another car slammed into it. He had to be removed from his car by the track's crew. Jessica wrote on social media, 'Thank you to Tommy Conroy and Martin Roy, who stayed with Stewart last night. … Thank you to the manufacturers who have made dirt modifieds as safe as possible. And to the track crew for their patience and hard work getting Stew out of the car.'
