<\/p>\nNewly crowned ARCA Menards Series champion Brenden ‘Butterbean’ Queen will be part of Kaulig Racing’s brand new NASCAR Truck Series effort and Ram’s highly anticipated return to the sport.<\/p>\n
Kaulig is expected to field up to five trucks in 2026 with support from the Stellantis brand, and Queen has been confirmed as the team’s first driver.<\/p>\n
\u201cA big thanks to Matt Kaulig, Chris Rice, RAM, and everyone at Kaulig Racing for this opportunity,\u201d said Queen. \u201cI\u2019m just a short-track kid who\u2019s worked hard every day, never really knowing if I\u2019d ever make it to this level. I\u2019m very thankful for this chance and can\u2019t wait to get rolling with RAM and Kaulig Racing. The goals are simple: build a winning team and chase championships.\u201d<\/p>\n
