SPOOKY SPEED AND A TOP 5 FINISH FOR BLAKE AGAIN DURING THE PRE-HALLOWEEN WEEKEND AT TRI-COUNTY SPEEDWAY !
Blake had spooky speed on a warm North Carolina night at Tri-County Speedway. Unloaded Friday with a ton of speed and carried it into Saturday where he was first in practice and then qualified second for the 75-lap late model feature race. Unfortunately the #59 was forced to start at the back after a disputed issue during tech. But that was okay with Blake, “That’s just racing and I love a challenge.” Blake was able to show his race craft by driving from the very back of the pack up through the field, picking off cars one by one, and ending the race with a top 5 finish! All and all it was a a successful event and fun-filled evening with race fans. Blake had a blast handing out candy to race trick or treaters and distributing pink bracelets and health info for Breast Cancer Awareness month. He is grateful to Mike Darne Racing for the bad fast car they brought him, his spotter Ryan Honeycutt and his sponsors Texas Lawbook, POTUSABCKids and Smith Lawncare.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE I am thrilled to announce I will be partnering with the Wings and Wheels Foundation team as a driver ambassador. Wings and Wheels has a history of commitment to young promising drivers in the motorsports industry. I look forward to advancing to the next level of achievement in my racing career with the generous support of the WWF family.

Blake Makes His Camping World Truck Series Debut
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.”
Watch Blake Lothian debut in the No. 43 Colette Phillips Communications, Inc machine

Blake Breaks Hickory Qualifying record set in 2019!
Hickory Motor Speedway, This Saturday, 3/5/22
A record-breaking weekend at Hickory Motor Speedway this month. Blake was one of several racers to break a two-year old Hickory track qualifying time record. The old record of 14.666 was set by a former track champion in 2019. Blake’s qualifying time of 14.528 put him in a P4 starting position. Unfortunately after running top 10 most of the race, damage ended his race in lap 22. But any night you can beat a Hickory record is a good night! Looking forward to the next one!
