Justin Haley and Daniel Dye sign with Kaulig Ram NASCAR Truc...

Kaulig Racing, which recently revealed that they are pausing their NASCAR Xfinity Series efforts for the time being, plan to operate five NASCAR Trucks next year as the factory partner of Ram in its return to the sport.

Newly crowned ARCA champion Brenden Queen was already announced as the team's first full-time driver for 2026, but they've now revealed two more on Wednesday.

Daniel Dye, who currently drives for Kaulig in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, will move over to the Ram Truck squad in 2026. Joining Dye and Queen will be Justin Haley, who recently lost his NASCAR Cup Series ride at Spire Motorsports to Daniel Suarez.

Haley has quite the history with Kaulig, and so it's no surprise that they are eager to bring him back into the fold. Haley has only driven for Kaulig since 2019 in the Xfinity Series, including three full-time seasons where he won four races and made it all the way to the Championship 4 once. Kaulig also gave him a full-time opportunity in Cup, driving for them at the highest level of the sport in 2022 and 2023.

Haley is also a proven winner in Trucks with three victories and a Championship 4 appearance in 2018.

"Proud to announce I’m returning to Kaulig Racing, this time with @Kaulig_Trucks!" posted Haley on social media. "It’s hard to put into words what this means. This team believed in me from the very beginning, and to come full circle with people like (team president) Chris Rice and (team owner) Matt Kaulig, who have always supported me like family, means everything. I couldn’t be happier and more proud to return back home with Kaulig and Ram Trucks!

As for Dye, he is 21 years old and so far the youngest driver announced to the Ram Truck squad. He ran full-time in Trucks in both 2023 and 2024, finishing as high as tenth in the championship with a best finish of second.
