While Kaulig Racing prepares to venture into the Truck Series with Ram, it will continue to compete with Chevrolet in the Xfinity and Cup series. Currently, the team has two full-time entries in the Cup Series and three in the Xfinity Series. This collaboration represents the first time Kaulig Racing participates in the Truck Series. The team began its NASCAR journey in 2016 in the Xfinity Series and expanded to the Cup Series in 2021.We needed a partner who truly aligned with the Ram brand and embraced our unconventional approach to NASCAR. With Kaulig Racing, we found the perfect synergy to drive our ‘Last Tenth’ culture.
