Kaulig Racing Confirms Truck Numbers For Ram’s Big Return

Ram’s long-anticipated return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2026 just took another major step forward. Kaulig Racing—the organization tapped as the factory-backed team—officially revealed the five truck numbers that will take the track next season. The announcement dropped yesterday on the team’s dedicated Kaulig Trucks Instagram page, marking the first time all numbers were confirmed in one place.

The shift represents a massive strategic pivot for Kaulig Racing. To support Ram’s NASCAR comeback, the team is shutting down its NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts program (formerly its Xfinity Series effort) after this season. Kaulig will continue to operate its Chevrolet-backed Cup Series lineup with AJ Allmendinger and Ty Dillon in 2026. Still, their competitive focus below the Cup level now shifts entirely to Trucks.

With Ram supplying factory backing, Kaulig Racing will field five full-time Ram entries next year. Here are the confirmed numbers and what we know so far:

• No. 10 – Daniel Dye
  Dye keeps the number he campaigned in Xfinity competition last season, bringing familiarity into a new division.

• No. 12 – Brenden Queen
  The ARCA Menards Series champion steps up with a brand-new number for Kaulig—one that’s never appeared under the team’s banner before.

• No. 16 – Justin Haley
  Haley transitions to the Truck Series as a cornerstone veteran helping lead the program’s launch.

• No. 14 – Driver(s) TBA
  Kaulig has hinted at a unique driver selection process here—potentially involving a competition-style or rotating-driver format.

• No. 25 – Free Agent Truck
  A different driver will suit up for this truck at every event, with each selection announced the Monday before race weekend.

While Kaulig has previous experience with the Nos. 10, 14, and 16, the Nos. 12 and 25 represent fresh identifiers for the organization across any NASCAR platform. It’s a sign of Ram and Kaulig charting a new competitive path together.

There is still more yet to come, including paint schemes, crew chiefs, and sponsor reveals. But with numbers officially locked, this next chapter for Ram in top-tier American truck racing feels closer than ever.

2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for Mopar fans, Kaulig Racing supporters, and anyone excited to see Ram back in the fight.
