Crossword Genius

Raced around, worried (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cared

'worried' is the definition.

'raced around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'raced' anagrammed gives 'CARED'.

(Other definitions for cared that I've seen before include "had feelings" , "Tended" , "Was concerned" , "Felt concern or interest" , "Felt affection (for)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
