Ram Trucks to Partner With Kaulig Racing for 2026 NASCAR Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Stellantis' Ram Trucks will return to NASCAR in 2026 in the Craftsman Truck Series, and while it is reportedly in talks with several teams to field its trucks, a strong link to Kaulig Racing has emerged. Ram returns to NASCAR after 13 years, following Dodge's departure from the sport in 2012. Now, the brand's main focus is to partner with teams that facilitate a smooth entry into the sport, especially those that compete across all three series. That would allow Ram to capitalize on a direct link to the Cup Series, racing in which is the American brand's ultimate goal. According to Kaulig Racing president Chris Rice, who seems to be eager to go racing with the new manufacturer, Ram is said to have been in talks with several teams for a deal. Despite Kaulig's absence in the Truck Series, he acknowledged on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that his team is open to racing in any series to win. Rice said: (L-R) Tim Kuniskis, CEO Ram Brand - Stellantis, NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve O'Donnell and John Probst, SVP of Innovation and Racing Development pose at the Ram display on the midway for the announcement that... (L-R) Tim Kuniskis, CEO Ram Brand - Stellantis, NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve O'Donnell and John Probst, SVP of Innovation and Racing Development pose at the Ram display on the midway for the announcement that the Ram brand will return to NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competition, prior to the NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on June 08, 2025 in Brooklyn, Michigan. More"I think it's still up in the air (on partnering with Ram); I think it's a couple teams in the mix. But I can promise you one thing. If we get it, I will guarantee you, I'll be able to tell you guys, and we'll be smiling about it. How about that?" When asked if racing in the Truck Series is a possibility for Kaulig, he said: "I think it's always possible. I just said we're going to be aggressive. You never know about us. Anything can happen." A report by Sport Business Journal stated that Kaulig "has been increasingly bandied about in recent weeks by industry executives, with some rivals in the sport now pointing to Kaulig as a team that has a real chance of ending up with Stellantis." The team is known to have been exploring the prospect of racing in the Truck Series while ensuring its partnership with Chevrolet remains secure and stable in the Xfinity and Cup Series. Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Ram, said in a statement in June that further details about the brand's Truck Series program will be shared eventually. Newsweek Sports reported: "For more than a decade, customers and our dealer network asked about getting back into NASCAR. 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. "There will be more details on our NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series program later this year. We are undoubtedly having fun with this project, and I truly look forward to sharing information on our team and how getting back on track relates to the future of Ram performance."

More Photo byAs the longest-running driver in truck series history, Crafton has accomplished a lot in the sport - winning titles in 2013, 2014, and 2019 - sitting second all-time in series championships. He is also the only driver in the Craftsman Truck Series to win back-to-back titles. His 23-year partnership with Menards is the longest driver/sponsor relationship in NASCAR history. By the end of the season, he is projected to have more than 560 consecutive career starts. Crafton is at the top of series history in wins with 15, 328 top-10 finishes, 16 poles, and 2,716laps led. He isn't done yet - the truck series legend qualified for the 2025 playoffs and can add to a storied career so far. Who is Ty Majeski? As the driver of the No. 98 car, Majeski has climbed up the ranks as a driver and has established himself in the upper echelon. He won the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series title after breaking into the racing series back in 2022. In 2024, he closed the season on an impressive run of results, which landed him the title. "This is so much fun racing with this group," Majeski said after his championship win. "So proud to have the opportunity to drive these great race trucks. There's a lot of times in my career where this looks like a far dream, and [team owners] Duke and Rhonda [Thorson] really gave me my third opportunity after I had two opportunities that failed. I can't thank them enough. "It's been a long road here. These people behind me, everybody at Ford, really gave me another opportunity when my career looked like it could have ended, and they brought me on as an engineer in 2021 with a few races and turned into a full-time deal. "We made our first Championship 4 in '22, and now we're sitting here as champions." Now, Majeski steps into some big shoes with the No. 88 car. For more NASCAR news, head on over to Newsweek Sports.

Matt Crafton To Retire From Full-Time Nascar Craftsman Truck Series Racing
Three-time Nascar Craftsman Truck Series champion Matt Crafton is set to retire from full-time racing at the end of the 2025 season. Crafton, who's competed with ThorSport Racing for the majority of his career, will step down as the driver of the No. 88 truck. Ty Majeski, who won the Truck Series title in 2024, will move from the No. 98 entry to the No. 88 truck. Crafton won back-to-back championships in 2013 and 2014, along with the 2019 title, a year in which he didn't win a race. He has 15 career victories, all of which have come with ThorSport Racing. His last victory came at Kansas Speedway in July of 2020. Throughout Crafton's career, he has been supported by one sponsor: Menards. His 23-year relationship with the chain is among the longest in Nascar history. This year, he only has three top 10s with an average finish of 18.3, almost seven positions lower than his career average of 11.8. Crafton made his Truck Series debut in 2000 with ThorSport Racing. He only left the team in 2004 to compete for Kevin Harvick Inc. before returning to ThorSport a year later. A rare lifetime Truck Series driver, Crafton could be a future Nascar Hall of Famer due to his success in the series. The only major Truck Series driver in the Hall of Fame is Ron Hornaday Jr., who won four titles and 51 races. Jack Sprague was nominated to be in the Hall of Fame. He won three championships, as well, but had 28 wins. Crafton never had a major opportunity to compete for wins in the Cup Series or Xfinity Series. He replaced a few drivers for qualifying sessions over the years, as well as an injured Kyle Busch in the 2015 Daytona 500, finishing 18th. He made two other Cup Series starts in 2019 and 2023. He also made three Xfinity Series starts for Richard Childress Racing in 2013, with two third-place finishes.
