Tony Stewart returning to NASCAR for Truck Series race at Talladega

Tony Stewart returns to NASCAR for his second CRAFTSMAN Truck Series start of the 2026 season, driving Kaulig Racing’s No. 25 Ram 1500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Oct. 23. After opening the year at Daytona behind the wheel of the RAM No. 25, Stewart is back with Kaulig Racing as part of Ram’s Free Agent Driver Program. The collaboration continues Ram’s plan to rotate a different “Free Agent” driver in the No. 25 entry each race, blending motorsports veterans with rising stars. Kaulig Racing said the program began in February at Daytona as the inaugural Free Agent initiative for the manufacturer.
