Overview

  • Kaulig will field up to five Ram 1500 entries beginning with the Daytona season opener on February 13, 2026.
  • Ram confirmed Kaulig will be its only team in the Truck Series, operating from Kaulig’s race shop in Welcome, North Carolina.
  • No drivers were announced, with team lineups and staffing to be detailed later.
  • Industry reporting suggests Kaulig could obtain trucks from Spire Motorsports, which remains unconfirmed.
