- As of press time, it is unclear whether or not Caruth will continue his effort in the truck series with Spire beyond this season. Though a social media post from Spire congratulated Caruth, suggesting he could be moving on from the No.71 truck after two seasons.
- The setup for the JRM No. 88 seems to be similar to that of the No. 1. Both cars, which have a full-time driver this season, are going to host multiple part-time drivers, with Carson Kvapil and Connor Zilisch sharing the No. 1, and Caruth and an unknown driver or drivers sharing the No. 88.
- The 23-year-old is coming off his third full-time Craftsman Truck Series Season, and second with Spire. In both years driving Spire’s No. 71, Caruth has won at least one race. The team is currently in the Truck Series Round of Eight, where he sits 14 points above the cut line entering this weekend’s cutoff race at Martinsville.
- Caruth has made a scattered Xfinity, soon to be called the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, which has been a part of his career. He raced with Alpha Prime Racing in 2022 and 2023, and with Hendrick Motorsports in one race each in 2023 and 2025, finishing no better than 12th at Martinsville in 2023.
