MOORESVILLE, NC - Reaume Brothers Racing is proud
to announce that NASCAR Drive for Diversity alumni and local
short track star Blake Lothian will make his NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series debut with Reaume Brothers Racing at
Martinsville Speedway. This comes after Lothian, who started his
racing career in go karts at age five, had a very successful 2021
season, obtaining his first win at Hickory Motor Speedway in just
his fourth start in a late model. After making eight total starts in
2021, Blake Lothian secured eight top-10 finishes, five top 5’s and
one win.
The Wellesley, Massachusetts native is looking forward to
continuing his success from 2021. “I’m so grateful to Josh Reaume and everyone at Reaume
Brothers Racing for this opportunity. Looking forward to learning and growing with this team. I
remember first watching Todd Bodine race trucks when I was little and ever since then, racing a
truck has been a dream of mine. Now I am going to get that opportunity thanks to Reaume
Brothers Racing. Coming off of a successful 2021 season, I’m beyond thankful for the
opportunity to race at such a historic venue as Martinsville in a NASCAR Camping World Truck.
The opportunities that everyone at Reaume Brothers Racing gives to numerous drivers is more
generous than I could ever ask for, and I am looking forward to being a piece of the puzzle on the
Paperclip.” Blake Lothian will have Colette Phillips Communications on Board in Martinsville,
and President and CEO Colette Phillips sees the passion in Lothian just as she has had
throughout her life. “As a black entrepreneur, and someone who broke down barriers...I
know firsthand just how important Blake’s journey to the top is for black and brown kids,” said
Phillips. "Blake’s commitment to excellence and justice on and off the track is admirable, and
reflective of a young man wise beyond his years," she added
Josh Reaume, owner of Reaume Brothers Racing, is eager to give Blake Lothian an
opportunity to make his name. “Giving drivers the opportunity to make their name is part of the
reason I have continued in NASCAR for many years. I see the same motivation and passion in
Blake that I have in myself, and I am excited to give Blake the opportunity he deserves.”
