Hemi power: Ram plans return to NASCAR in 2026 with Truck Series entry. Cup Series could be next
Ram will return to NASCAR next year in the Truck Series, a comeback the Stellantis-owned brand believes is the first step toward launching a stock car program in the top Cup Series. Ram, which left NASCAR after the 2012 season, will race in the third-tier Truck Series alongside rivals Ford, Chevrolet, and Toyota. Ram becomes the first new manufacturer to enter NASCAR at the national level since 2007. Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis made the NASCAR announcement Sunday before the Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. Kuniskis has bold goals and ideas — he's vowed to make 25 product announcements over 18 months — and he said Ram will enter its trucks aggressively with the intention to be disruptive. 'The way we're going to do it is unlike anyone else,' Kuniskis said. 'The reason that we've been out of NASCAR for 12 years is a very tough (return on investment); it is a very tough business decision to make. But when we say we're back, when we say nothing stops Ram, when we bring the Hemi (engine) back, when we bring some of the other stuff that we haven't shown you, it makes perfect sense to be back in the space and back up.' Kuniskis said Ram will tap into NASCAR's estimated fan base of 20 million 'and turn it into 80 or 100 million.' 'We have a plan. We know how we're going to do it. We think we have a path to get to that. We think people are going to like the way we're doing it because it's going to be fun,' he said. 'Not ready to share all the details with you yet, but I told you that the experiential piece was going to be just a little bit of how we're doing it. It's going to get crazier from there.' Ram raced out of the starting gate by using the Cup race at Michigan, which is just 90 minutes away from automotive capital Detroit, to announce its return. Ram staged a demonstration of its truck on the frontstretch before the start of Sunday's race. Kuniskis anticipates having four to six trucks at Daytona for the opener next February. John Probst, NASCAR senior vice president and chief racing development officer, indicated Ram may not be the first announcement of a new manufacturer, with talks continuing with other brands. NASCAR last welcomed a manufacturer into the Truck Series in 2004 with Toyota. 'We're excited that they (Ram) have interest in the Cup Series,' Probst said of Stellantis. 'I don't want to jinx ourselves, but I would say we are very close with one other (manufacturer). Even with that, there's one or two others that we're a little bit earlier in the discussions. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'We all know that a (manufacturer) deciding to come into NASCAR, it's a big commitment for them. It's not something that they take lightly. It requires a lot of research and approval at the highest levels. We're confident right now. We like the position we're in and think that we're a pretty good investment for a (manufacturer).' Stellantis features 14 automotive brands, including Dodge and Chrysler. Dodge raced in NASCAR through the 2012 season and left the same month it celebrated the Cup title with Brad Keselowski and Penske Racing. 'We have cars in our company,' Kuniskis said. ___ AP auto racing:

'Buy Canadian': Here are 6 of the best homegrown condiment brands
Article content Article content In 2020, as people across Canada found themselves managing three meals a day within four walls, Jannine Rane and Anush Sachdeva were also in the throes of the 'what's for dinner' dilemma. Article content 'We really were just trying to figure out a way where we could have that variety, which is the reality of how most people eat today. (It's) based on wanting a mix of cultures, wanting that convenience, but then also the reality of what's in the fridge at 6:23 on a Tuesday,' says Rane, co-founder and CEO of Zing Pantry Shortcuts in Toronto. Article content The average Canadian knows seven recipes, she adds, which is in stark contrast to our growing appetite for global flavours. According to Canadian Grocer, Korean, Japanese, Filipino and Thai cuisines are driving 24 per cent growth in the multicultural food category. Article content 'How we want to eat and how we eat — there was no real overlap there. So that was the pain point. How do we eat what we want without having to spend hours in the kitchen? And the inspiration was really restaurants,' says Rane. 'How does a restaurant get a plate of dinner from the kitchen to your table in 20 minutes? The secret sauce is the secret sauce, quite literally.' Article content Article content Rane and Sachdeva co-founded Zing with their friend Kiran Singh, a chef, to bottle sauces that brought flavour 'without compromising on quality or health. And doing it in a way that is also an homage to Canada and reflects the communities we live in.' Article content Over the past five years, they've partnered with Canadian chefs and food creators to develop a range of condiments, including Vincent Ng's Mala Savoury Chili Salt, Pay Chen's Sacha-ish Chili Miso Condiment and Christine Flynn's Buzz Hot Honey. Article content They make their products in a Mississauga facility and manage all aspects of the business in-house. Rane says that Zing built its business with independent grocers, small boutiques and coffee shops willing to take a chance on something new. It's now available at more than 700 retailers nationwide, including Metro, Whole Foods Market and Fortinos. Article content Article content Zing's top seller is one of its original products, Hakka-ish Chili Crisp. It's been so popular that there's now a Garlic Chili Crunch version. In 2020, Zing was one of a handful of companies in Canada making chili crisp. People often asked Rane what it was — but no longer, which she sees as evidence of how much more frequently people seek out these flavours. Article content According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, chili sauces, such as chili crisp, are seeing the greatest growth in the 'cooking and table sauce' segment, the largest sauce category. Article content Many people have advised Zing to move its operations to the United States, but Rane has resisted each time. She says running a Canadian small business in a consolidated industry and an uncertain economy isn't easy, but her absolute belief in their work keeps her going. Article content 'We took a leap of faith,' says Rane. 'There was no one doing what we were doing at the time. We're that example for folks that are starting now. So, I hope it's the beginning of a wave of more Canadians being excited and proud of what we have to offer and just doing it — because I think we can and should.'
