Kaulig Racing Reveals 2026 NASCAR Truck Series Lineup with Haley, Dye

Kaulig Racing is restructuring its NASCAR involvement by pausing its Xfinity Series program to focus on launching a new NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team in 2026, backed by a major partnership with Ram Trucks. The team will field five trucks, marking Ram's return to NASCAR with factory support and a strong development pipeline. The driver lineup for this new venture includes ARCA champion Brenden Queen, Daniel Dye, who is moving from Kaulig's Xfinity Series to the Truck Series, and Justin Haley, who is returning to Kaulig after his recent Cup Series stint with Spire Motorsports. Haley brings extensive experience with wins across NASCAR's top three series and expressed pride in rejoining the team that supported him early in his career. Kaulig's leadership emphasized this strategic shift as necessary to focus resources on their Cup and Truck Series programs while planning to return to Xfinity competition in the future. The combination of emerging talent and experienced drivers positions Kaulig Racing for a competitive debut season in the Truck Series.
