As the beginning of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series campaign inches closer and closer, Kaulig Racing is releasing some more details about its brand-new five-truck RAM program for the new season.
In an announcement made via social media on Thursday, the organization confirmed the five numbers that its entries would carry for the upcoming season, as well as which drivers would be assigned which numbers.

Daniel Dye will pilot the No. 10 RAM 1500 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2026, as he returns for a second season with Kaulig Racing, albeit in a different division. The Deland, Florida-native has two seasons under his belt in the Truck Series (one with GMS Racing and another with McAnally-Hilgemann Racing), but is still looking for his first career victory.
Brenden “Butterbean” Queen will get behind the wheel of the No. 12 RAM 1500 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, as he competes for Rookie of the Year (ROTY) honors with Kaulig Racing. Queen is the defending champion of the ARCA Menards Series, a title he won with Pinnacle Racing Group.
Justin Haley is the seasoned veteran of the group, thus far, and will drive the No. 16 RAM 1500 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series next season, a number synonymous with Kaulig Racing’s legacy in NASCAR’s National Series. Haley is a three-time NASCAR Truck Series winner, a four-time NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series winner, and a winner in the NASCAR Cup Series.
As was previously announced by Kaulig Racing in November, the organization will be introducing a Free Agent Entry to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with the No. 25 RAM 1500. The premise is that each week, a new and exciting driver will get behind the wheel of an entry and give their best shot at the weekly competitors of the Truck Series.
The No. 14 RAM 1500, the fifth entry for Kaulig Racing’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series program in 2026, does not have a driver attached to it at this moment, and in the team’s announcement boasts the label of TOP SECRET.
Additional announcements from Kaulig Racing, including the identity of the driver of the No. 14 RAM 1500, plus personnel announcements and sponsorship will come at a later date.
