Ram returns to NASCAR’s Truck Series with a marketing-heavy push that includes Tony Stewart driving at Daytona and UFC boss Dana White helping promote it. On Friday night, the season opens at Daytona International Speedway. Ram has not raced in NASCAR since 2012. Ram partners with Kaulig Racing and becomes NASCAR’s first new national-level manufacturer since 2007. Ram and Kaulig also create a YouTube reality show called “Race for the Seat.” Fifteen drivers compete for a ride. Timothy “Mini” Tyrrell wins and joins Ram’s lineup. New rules also give Ram a short-term qualifying safety net.
