Caruth Accepts Blame for Dover Clash With Love, Says He Is 'Racing for My Life'

The apology points to career pressure shaping risky choices.

Overview

  • Caruth’s restart bobble at Dover on Saturday sent both cars into the wall while he battled Jesse Love, heavily damaging Love’s No. 2 and dropping him to 23rd.
  • After the race, Caruth said the contact was his fault, apologized to Love’s team, and admitted he should have controlled the car entering Turn 3.
  • He added that he has been too aggressive because he is “racing for [his] life,” with nothing guaranteed about his future in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
  • The crash marked the third significant run-in between the pair in under two months after earlier contacts at Martinsville and Rockingham.
  • Caruth finished outside the top 10, with outlets listing him 13th or 14th, after a later spin in traffic added light damage, while Corey Day captured his first series win.
