Ram stepped away from the NASCAR truck competition in 2016, much to the disappointment of racing enthusiasts. As one of the founding NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series manufacturers, Dodge Ram trucks enjoyed a vibrant history until their departure. Back then, Bobby Hamilton dominated the circuits, securing the 2004 Truck Series Championship. After Ram branched off as its own brand in 2010, it continued racing for another six seasons before disappearing entirely. Now, in 2026, Ram is gearing up for a comeback.
Ram to Race in 2026 NASCAR Truck Series
Few details about Ram's return to the Truck Series have been shared, but a photo gallery offers an enticing preview of their new race team. They've already showcased the latest competition truck, featuring a 112-inch wheelbase and an overall length of 206.5 inches. The images reveal a low-slung Ram bearing the number 25 in crisp white along its side. The Craftsman logo spans the top of the windshield, while the driver's seat remains unoccupied.
Over the next year, Dodge will assemble a lineup of drivers representing Ram in NASCAR truck events and restoring the brand's racing glory. For now, those driver positions are blank on the Ram Trucks site. Fans eager for news of Ram's return can check our dealership's website regularly for the latest announcements.
Like many forward-looking initiatives, Ram keeps its cards close to the vest, revealing snippets over time—but you can already glimpse what's to come. More photos and updates will be released in the months ahead, giving racing fans a better sense of how seriously Ram is taking its NASCAR Truck Series bid.
It's been about ten years since Ram last hit the NASCAR track, but the team looks as sharp as ever. They're currently recruiting some of the sport's top talent to take the wheel in 2026.
