On this episode of Speed This Week with The Crew Chief and Trey Rice, the guys fire it up with a look at NASCAR’s newest docuseries-style project: a five-night YouTube run following Rajah Caruth, Carson Hocevar, and Jesse Love. Will and Trey break down why this version feels grittier than Netflix’s attempt, what makes each driver’s story compelling, and why Rajah’s journey from iRacing kid to rising NASCAR talent really matters—on and off the track. They also get candid about race, fan reactions, and how Black drivers are treated in a traditionally white sport, including the incident that appears in the series preview.

From there, the conversation shifts to the future of NASCAR hardware and talent. The crew dives into Dodge’s return to the Truck Series, the multi-truck effort being built, and the intriguing “all-star truck” concept that could rotate young guns, short-track assassins, and seasoned vets through the seat. They talk sim time vs. real-track pressure, why the new generation is so far ahead so fast, and toss out names who could thrive in that rotating Dodge ride. Sprinkle in some off-track banter about Avatar, full moons, and fast sneezes, and you’ve got another packed lap with trusted voices for today’s fan.
