Brenden Queen will have Cummins as the sponsor of his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series effort with Kaulig Racing for the full 2026 season, Kaulig announced Jan. 6.
Cummins will sponsor Queen’s No. 12 in all races during the driver’s rookie campaign.
“To have a company with Cummins’ history and worldwide reputation support me is incredible,” Queen said in a team release. “I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of this Ram 1500 and represent Cummins and Kaulig Racing every weekend. This is the type of opportunity every driver dreams about.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Cummins to the Kaulig Racing family,” Kaulig CEO Chris Rice added. “Their engineering excellence and commitment to innovation are a perfect match for our vision. Brenden is an exceptional talent, and we’re building a program around him that we believe can compete for wins and make a playoff run right away.”
Queen is the defending ARCA Menards Series champion and was the first driver announced to Kaulig’s newly formed Truck team as part of RAM’s move into the sport.
He’s made five Truck starts since 2023, earning one top five and two top 10s.
