Stewart Gets Kaulig Call-up for NASCAR Truck Series' Talladega Race

Stewart will make his second Truck Series start of the season as Kaulig Racing uses Ram’s Free Agent program to build superspeedway data.

  • Three-Time NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart will return to the track on October 23, driving for Kaulig Racing at Talladega Superspeedway in the Craftsman Truck Series.
  • Stewart ended a 10-year hiatus earlier this year at Daytona International Speedway as the first participant in the Ram Free Agent Driver Program, which cycles veteran drivers through the truck.
  • His February return drew nearly 1.4 million viewers on FS1, a 37% increase over the 2025 season opener and the most-watched Craftsman Truck Series broadcast since 2016.
  • At Talladega, Stewart aims to help Kaulig sharpen its drafting package on the 2.66-mile superspeedway where he won a Cup race in October 2008 with 14 top-10 finishes.
  • Stewart remains open to future racing opportunities despite initially retiring, saying, "I think we have to learn to never say never." His second 2026 start signals expanded comeback possibilities.
