Overview
- Kaulig Racing announced Wednesday that Ryan Newman will pilot its No. 25 Ram 1500 in the Craftsman Truck Series race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on July 18.
- The start is a one-off entry under Ram’s Free Agent program, which Kaulig has used this season to showcase veteran and high‑profile drivers in the No. 25 truck.
- Newman’s appearance will be his first Truck start since 2018 and his first NASCAR national start since 2023, though he has not run full‑time since 2021.
- The No. 25 has already featured names such as Tony Stewart, Clint Bowyer, Jamie McMurray and Travis Pastrana, a pattern Kaulig and Ram are using to boost visibility for the brand.
- Newman said in Kaulig’s team release that he is excited to return to North Wilkesboro and to race again under the Ram banner, a manufacturer he raced with early in his career.
