NASCAR Veteran Drove a Dodge in 13 of 18 Cup Series Victories
Will Drive Kaulig Racing’s No. 25 Ram 1500 in July 18 Race
NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — Kaulig Racing and Ram announced today that 2008 Daytona 500 winner and 18-time NASCAR Cup Series victor Ryan Newman will drive the No. 25 Ram 1500 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway on Saturday, July 18.
Newman, nicknamed “Rocket Man,” drove Dodge machinery to 13 of his 18 career Cup wins and earned 43 of his 51 career Cup poles in Dodges. He adds star power to Ram’s rotating-driver Free Agent Program as the manufacturer returns to NASCAR competition after a 13-year absence.
Anybody who might be tire’d of the talk of the town on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour in 2026 should brace for more as the season progresses.
And that’s a good thing.
The introduction of American Racer as the Tour’s official tire supplier this season has brought a mixed bag of feedback through six of the 16 scheduled races. Some teams have thrived on the tires while others have expressed frustration. Jon McKennedy, the 2022 series champion and a two-time race winner this year, put it simply: “Some guys like them, and some guys don’t.”
