Ram Trucks, which spent the last 13 years biding its time before deciding on a return to the NASCAR garage area, says Tuesday’s announcement showcases that the brand is looking to rewrite the playbook in its comeback to stock car, or in this case, truck racing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not just returning to the track; we\u2019re rewriting the playbook. Bringing Tony in as the first Free Agent will generate a crazy amount of excitement, which is exactly why we created the program\u2014allowing fans to watch an all-time favorite driver get back into the seat, but this time, it\u2019s a Ram truck,\u201d said Tim Kuniskis, Head of American Brands, SRT Performance, NA Marketing and Retail Strategy at Stellantis. \u201cThis is about honoring a legacy. Tony represents grit, determination, and the spirit of racing\u2014pure adrenaline for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Stewart has not competed in the NASCAR National Series in a decade, the driver has one of the best bodies of work of anyone in the history of the 2.5-mile superspeedway in Daytona Beach, FL. Stewart has accumulated 19 victories at the facility between NASCAR Cup, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and IROC points-paying and exhibition events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ram Trucks, which spent the last 13 years biding its time before deciding on a return to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-408288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
