It operates out of North Carolina and now hopes to win all of NASCAR's top-three series."I don't know how many teams in the history of NASCAR have won in all three series. So, that's a really big goal for me and our organization," Matt Kaulig told Fox News."It's like, 'Ok, we've shown we can compete even at the Cup level. We show that we can win a couple regular-season championships in Xfinity.' We'll win again and be successful in those series as well, but to do it in the Truck Series now with Ram and bringing in all the excitement and drama that goes along with that, it's fun," he added.Ram's CEO Tim Kuniskis said he wanted a partner who truly matches the brand and its unconventional approach to NASCAR. Kaulig Racing, on the back of its success in the top-two series in a short amount of time, fits the company's goals.
