Ram is all set to re-enter the sport as a manufacturer, providing as many as five trucks to the team for their Truck Series programs.NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. shared his thoughts on the plan that the two entities should follow for their 2026 programs in order to have a successful outcome.I believe it would serve Ram, Kaulig, and everyone well to have a bit of a mix like you get yourself a sure-fire, can’t miss veteran that can help you build the team. Tell you where your car is, where your trucks are, and what you need and what you’re feeling. You bring in some grassroots young guy that needs that opportunity that everybody would be excited about, and you kind of have a mix in between," Earnhardt Jr. said via the ProFootballNetwork via the Dirty Air podcast.Earnhardt Jr. emphasised that this partnership provides a unique opportunity for the young talent coming in through the Truck series, as it provides a more straightforward route to the Cup and Xfinity Series. He explained how other teams might offer opportunities with uncertain outcomes, which would not be the case with the Ram-Kaulig racing partnership.
