Rajah Caruth and Jake Finch secure rides for Dover NASCAR Xfinity race

The NASCAR Xfinity race at Dover will feature NASCAR Truck Series regular Rajah Caruth and rising star Jake Finch, who will be making his Xfinity Series debut.

On Monday, Hendrick Motorsports announced that they will enter the No. 17 Chevrolet with the 20-year-old Finch behind the wheel. Finch is a winner in the ARCA Menard's Series, but has zero starts in any of the three national levels of the sport. Finch is also the son of former NASCAR team owner, James Finch, who operated Phoenix Racing in the Cup Series for over 20 years.

This will be the 12th Xfinity race HMS has entered this year. Kyle Larson and William Byron have both won with the No. 17 during the 2025 season, but the car has also featured Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, and Corey Day.

But Finch's HMS announcement wasn't the only Xfinity news on Monday. Caruth, who drives for Spire Motorsports full-time in the Truck Series, will pilot the No. 32 Chevrolet for Jordan Anderson Racing at Dover.

Caruth is a proven winner in the Truck Series with a victory at Las Vegas in 2024, ending the year seventh in points. He won again at Nashville, earlier this year, once again locking himself into the playoffs.

Caruth also has 19 starts in the Xfinity Series, but none since the end of the 2023 season. 

Like the HMS No. 17, JAR's No. 32 car has also used a variety of drivers during the year, including Katherine Legge, Austin Green, and team owner Jordan Anderson. Its best result came at both Daytona and Mexico City, placing seventh.

The NASCAR Xfinity race at Dover will also see the NXS debut of ARCA driver Lavar Scott, which was previously announced.
