Kaulig Racing’s first driver of its No. 25 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is here: Tony Stewart.
Stewart will drive the All-Star truck in the season opener at Daytona International Speedway, the team announced Jan. 13.
It’ll be the first NASCAR national series race for the three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion since he retired from full-time competition after the 2016 season.
Stewart is also making his first appearance in the Truck Series since 2005. He has six starts in the series to date, scoring two victories.
In 2026, Kaulig plans to field the No. 25 full time with a variety of drivers. It’s one of five full-time trucks for the team, the flagship program for RAM in its move to the sport.

At his day job, he's a journalist covering music and rock charts at Billboard. He lives in New York City, but his heart is in Ohio -- you know, like that Hawthorne Heights song.




Nice!
