Kaulig Announces All-Star Truck with Exciting Rotating Drivers

Kaulig Racing will pivot to the 2026 NASCAR Truck Series with an all‑star No. 25 Ram 1500 featuring a rotating roster of drivers.

The team will pause its NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts program and operate as Ram’s factory entrant, marking the brand’s return to the series.

Alongside the rotating seat, Kaulig has named full‑time drivers Brenden Queen, Daniel Dye, and Justin Haley to anchor the effort.

The “Free Agent Program” keeps each truck driver secret until the Monday before race weekends. The first reveal is planned in February before Daytona.

Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis frames the project around fan engagement, celebrating NASCAR’s intensity and larger‑than‑life personalities rather than chasing championship points with the No. 25 entry.

Strategically, a rotating lineup lets Kaulig match specific skill sets to track types, while the full‑time trio provides continuity, feedback consistency, and week‑to‑week development.

Ram plans performance‑based prizes for guest drivers. The No. 25 is the fourth of five planned Kaulig Ram entries, with the final seat still to be disclosed.

That fifth entry remains undefined, but the broader concept aligns with Kaulig’s appetite for flexibility, talent scouting, and data gathering under stable Truck Series regulations.

The project opens at Daytona, where the first Free Agent driver will be named, positioning Kaulig and Ram to test the model’s competitive ceiling immediately.
