Overview

  • Kaulig Racing will field up to five Ram 1500 entries at the Truck Series season opener at Daytona on February 13, 2026.
  • The partnership was unveiled near Daytona International Speedway, with Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis citing a cultural fit and an unconventional marketing approach.
  • No drivers were announced for the new program, and key competitive details remain to be disclosed.
  • Kaulig currently races Chevrolets in the Cup and Xfinity Series, owns 27 Xfinity wins and two Cup victories, and has not previously competed in the Truck Series.
  • Ram’s return marks its first factory-backed NASCAR Truck effort in about 13 years after the brand’s long absence from top-level NASCAR competition.
