Who Should Wheel Ram’s Rumored 2026 “All-Star” Truck?

As Ram Trucks prepares to jump back into the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2026, one rumor has taken on a life of its own: Kaulig Racing may be assembling a special “All-Star” truck featuring big-name drivers with no current ties to another manufacturer.

Ram and Kaulig will field five full-time trucks next season. Three seats are already filled—Brendan “Butterbean” Queen, Justin Haley, and Daniel Dye—but one of the two open entries is widely rumored to be an All-Star truck that rotates drivers throughout the year. The other unfilled seat is tied to a rumored Ram-backed NASCAR driver tryout show, but the All-Star truck is the one fans can’t stop talking about.

And while nothing has been confirmed, several high-profile names keep coming up repeatedly in NASCAR circles.

Below is a deeper look at the drivers that fans—and insiders—believe could be behind the wheel of Ram’s potential All-Star entry for 2026.

Kasey Kahne: The Dodge-Connected Dark Horse –

Kasey Kahne may have stepped away from NASCAR full-time after 2018, but he never stopped racing. He’s built a second career in dirt racing and made a long-awaited NASCAR return in the 2025 Xfinity Series race at Rockingham.

But here’s why Kahne’s name keeps coming up:
He’s one of the most recognizable former Dodge drivers of the modern era.

If Ram wants to tap into an emotional connection for fans—especially longtime Mopar loyalists—Kahne would be a strong choice. His schedule is flexible, his fanbase remains passionate, and his brand still carries weight.

Tony Stewart: The Biggest, Boldest Possibility –

Tony Stewart’s name is easily the most electric of the bunch. Even though he hasn’t driven a NASCAR stock car since 2016, Stewart is still closely tied to the Mopar world through his NHRA Top Fuel involvement with Dodge.

Kaulig Racing CEO Chris Rice even acknowledged that Stewart’s name has come up in internal discussions regarding the All-Star truck. Nothing official—but definitely not baseless.

A Stewart appearance in a Ram truck, even for a single race, would be the kind of moment NASCAR fans talk about for a decade. It’s unlikely—but not impossible. And that’s what keeps the rumor alive.

Corey LaJoie: The Modern NASCAR Personality With Momentum –

Corey LaJoie has become one of the most persistent names surfacing in All-Star truck discussions. Even though LaJoie recently said he’s “not entertaining truck offers,” rumors haven’t stopped—not even a little.

Why? Because he checks every major box Ram would want:

• A strong fan following

• A modern NASCAR personality

• No locked-in OEM conflicts

• A proven ability to get solid results in almost anything he drives

LaJoie’s part-time run with Spire Motorsports toward the end of 2026 turned heads and reminded the garage what he can do in competitive equipment. If Ram wants a recognizable, media-friendly name behind its All-Star truck, LaJoie may be the strongest option on the board.

Greg Biffle: The Veteran Legend Who Can Still Win –

Greg Biffle—“The Biff”—might be the most logical pick of all. With one of the greatest Truck Series résumés ever, Biffle still has the respect of the garage and a following that spans generations.

He hasn’t run a NASCAR national series race since 2022, but that hasn’t kept him idle. Biffle has stayed active in ARCA Menards Series West races, and his 2019 Truck Series comeback win with Kyle Busch Motorsports is still cited as proof he can jump in a truck cold and run up front.

Biffle also has no OEM ties, which is critical. If Ram wants instant credibility and a splash of nostalgia, few names would hit harder.

Could There Be More Names? Absolutely. –

While these four drivers are the most frequently mentioned, other one-off specialists, motorsports crossover stars, or retired NASCAR favorites could also be in play. The key requirement appears to be no binding manufacturer affiliation, which narrows the list but doesn’t eliminate surprise options.

What’s clear is this:
Ram wants its return to make noise, and an All-Star truck packed with big-name drivers throughout the year would do exactly that.

Final Thoughts –

Until Kaulig and Ram make anything official, the All-Star truck remains just a rumor—but it’s a rumor that won’t die. With names like LaJoie, Biffle, Kahne, and Stewart floating around, fans have good reason to be excited.

If Ram truly wants to send a message with its 2026 comeback, putting a star—or several stars—behind the wheel seems like the perfect play.
