Ryan Newman is the latest addition to Kaulig Racing’s No. 25 stable in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
The multi-time NASCAR Cup Series winner will drive the Ram at North Wilkesboro Speedway, Kaulig announced June 24.
The start marks Newman’s first Truck appearance since 2021, though he failed to qualify for his lone attempt that season at the Bristol Motor Speedway dirt track. His most recent race in the series occurred in 2018, and it’ll be his first non-dirt appearance since 2015.
He has one win, six top fives and six top 10s in the series since 2008 among seven starts.
Newman last appeared in a NASCAR national series via multiple Cup and NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts in 2023.
He has 18 career Cup wins, eight of which came in 2003.
Kevin Rutherford is the executive editor of Frontstretch, a position he gained in 2025 after being the managing editor since 2015, and serving on the editing staff since 2013.
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.
