Ram is returning to the NASCAR Truck Series for the first time in over a decade this year, partnering with Kaulig Racing to form a five-truck effort for the 2026 season.

The ambitious plan will include Brenden Queen, Justin Haley, and Daniel Dye as full-time drivers going for the title. It will also feature an all-star truck described as the 'free agent program' with various different drivers announced throughout the year.

However, the fifth and final seat will be determined through a reality show competition called Race For The Seat. The competition features 15 aspiring drivers competing against each other for the final Ram 1500 seat at Kaulig Racing. The team has partnered with UFC President & CEO Dana White as the executive producer for the show. Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis and Kaulig Racing team owner Matt Kaulig will also be heavily featured in the show.

The drivers will face off in various different vehicles and at tracks ranging from Virginia International Raceway to South Boston Speedway as they battle it out for the big prize -- a shot at one of the national levels of NASCAR.
