Ram is returning to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2026 following a 13-year break, according to Stellantis.
Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Ram, made the announcement Sunday at Michigan International Speedway ahead of the FireKeepers Casino 400.
Ram left the Truck Series in 2012 after a 17-year run to focus on the launch of the 2013 Ram 1500.
"For more than a decade, customers and our dealer network asked about getting back into NASCAR," Kuniskis said. "The desire was always there, but we didn't have a plan that delivered the last tenth and following just didn't fit our DNA. Now we have a solid plan that will set us apart from the field and will bring fresh new interest and engagement to America's motorsport."
Stellantis, which owns Ram, shared visuals of a concept race truck as part of Sunday's announcement.

The Ram 1500 concept truck has elements from at least three different Ram trucks, including the Warlock, Rebel and RHO, Stellantis said in a news release.
More details on the brand's reentry to the Truck Series will be revealed later this year.

Bernie Sanders urges Democrats not to work with ‘right-wing extremist' Musk after Trump fallout
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., ruled out the idea that Democrats should work with Elon Musk after his explosive falling out with President Donald Trump, labeling the Tesla CEO a "right-wing extremist." Musk said that he "strongly supported Obama" but felt that the modern Democratic Party had been "hijacked by extremists" in an April 2022 post on X. "Musk has evolved over the years. My understanding is he actually voted for Obama in 2008. But over the years, he has developed into a right-wing extremist," Sanders told CNN "State of the Union" host Dana Bash after she asked if Democrats should work with the tech billionaire after his "breakup" with Trump. Sanders dismissed the idea out of hand and said Trump and Musk's drama was further proof that the United States was devolving into an oligarchic society. The self-proclaimed democratic socialist dismissed the episode as a fight among oligarchs, and slammed it as an "embarrassment" to people who believe in democracy and the rule of law. "Musk said to Trump, 'hey listen, I spent $270 million to get you elected. I bought you the presidency because we have a corrupt campaign finance system and billionaires can do that.' And Trump said, 'well, I gave you the right to run the government for three or four months, but I don't like the guy you want to run NASA, and we're going to get rid of him' and Musk got upset," Sanders said. Musk endorsed Trump after he survived his assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and subsequently served as one of his top surrogates and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to get him elected. Trump selected Musk to serve as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and tasked him with cutting waste, fraud and abuse from the federal bureaucracy. Musk's tenure at DOGE was tumultuous. Although he found billions of dollars in spending cuts, his reductions in federal outlays fell far short of the trillion dollars he promised. Backlash to Musk's work within the administration caused his businesses to suffer. Trump and Musk's relationship took a turn for the worse after the president withdrew Musk-ally Jared Isaacman's nomination to lead NASA. Musk proceeded to trash the "big beautiful bill" Trump is trying to get through Congress, claiming Trump only won because he donated $270 million to aid his campaign and alleging, without proof, that the president is featured in the so-called Epstein files in an X post he subsequently deleted. Trump warned that Musk will have to face "very serious consequences" if he funds Democratic candidates as a result of their rupture. When asked by Bash if he feels that Musk is correct in claiming that Trump only won because of Musk's money, Sanders responded affirmatively.
