Ram and Kaulig Launch Reality Series to Award Final 2026 NASCAR Truck Seat, Premiering Jan. 25 on FOX

The Dana White–produced show doubles as a talent pipeline that supports Ram’s NASCAR return.

Overview

  • The eight-episode Race For The Seat debuts Jan. 25 at noon ET on FOX, with subsequent episodes on Ram’s YouTube channel and FS1 from Jan. 26 to Feb. 6.
  • Fifteen drivers will compete under host Jacob Lofland, with Dana White’s Thrill Sports producing and on-camera commentary from Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis and team owner Matt Kaulig.
  • Filming took place in November using late-model cars at South Boston Speedway and Virginia International Raceway due to NASCAR testing rules that prevented truck use.
  • Kaulig’s 2026 Ram effort includes five trucks: full-time drivers Brenden “Butterbean” Queen, Daniel Dye and Justin Haley, a rotating No. 25 Free Agent entry, and the reality-show winner filling the remaining full-time seat.
  • Ram has committed to a multi-year run of the series, and organizers have not revealed the contestant lineup or the winner.
