PRI News: How did you get into the automotive industry?

Cameron Carraway: I got into the automotive industry through racing. I started in quarter midgets when I was just five years old, and it sparked my love for motorsports, cars and everything automotive. Since then, it's been all about finding ways to be behind the wheel, learning about the mechanics of racecars and connecting with people in the industry who share that same passion.

​

PN: What's been your biggest motivator?

CC: My biggest motivator is knowing that each time I get on track or share something about my journey, I'm representing kids like me, showing them it's possible to chase big dreams no matter where you start. My family also motivates me daily; they've made huge sacrifices to support my racing and media goals.

PN: What's been your favorite part of being apart of the automotive community?

CC: My favorite part is the relationships. Whether it's fans, other racers, mechanics or brands, everyone has a unique story, and there's always something to learn. The community lifts each other up, and it feels like an extended family wherever I go.

PN: As a content creator in the industry, how do you hope to make an impact on your audience? 

CC: I hope to inspire young people to believe in themselves and go after what they want, even if it seems out of reach. I want to show the real behind-the-scenes of racing--the wins, losses and work it takes--and help people see that motorsports can be for everyone.

​

PN: Why is advocacy important to you?

CC: Advocacy is important to me because I've seen how decisions in the industry and government can impact the future of racing and car culture. I want to use my platform to help protect the industry and also make it more inclusive for the next generation coming up.

PN: What's been the biggest moment of your career thus far?

CC: On track, it's been winning races in my Late Model. Off-track, I got a full media credential with NASCAR-sanctioned tracks and was selected to be a youth media correspondent for Championship Weekend in 2024.

PN: What is on the horizon for you in 2025? Anything you're looking forward to?

CC: In 2025, I'm excited to make my NASCAR ARCA West debut once I turn 15 and keep racing Late Models and micros, continue building my media presence and work with brands that align with my goals. I'm also looking forward to using my platform to advocate more within motorsports and expand my reach as a content creator and speaker.

PN: What are you hoping to see from the industry in the next few years?

CC: I hope to see the industry keep growing in ways that make motorsports more accessible to young drivers and all communities. Also, I'd love to see brands and organizations continue to invest in youth development and content creation that tells authentic stories.
