Devon Rouse will be making his NASCAR Truck Series debut at Knoxville Raceway, in his home state of Iowa on July 9th for the Corn Belt 150. Rouse connected with Reaume Brothers Racing back in 2019 and tested with RBR during the Winter Test at Myrtle Beach Speedway in January of 2020. Devon has been racing since he was 3 years old and started out racing Dirt Go-Karts where he was a 6-year track champion. Devon then moved to Mod-Lites for 6-years until he moved to Sprint Cars, which he has been racing ever since. After coming out last year, Devon joins a small group of openly gay athletes and the only one to represent NASCAR as a driver. Reaume Brothers Racing is committed to diversity and inclusion in our sport, where we all share a common passion, the love of racing.

Funny twist is that his owner got in trouble last year for drawing a Nazi swastika on a toaster strudel and posting it on Instagram.
