Ryan Newman Returns to Truck Racing

Ryan Newman, the legendary “Rocket Man,” is back behind the wheel for a high-profile return to NASCAR’s Craftsman Truck Series, piloting the No. 25 Ram 1500 at North Wilkesboro Speedway. With thirteen of his eighteen Cup wins and multiple poles in Dodge trucks—Ram’s former identity—Newman brings star power to Ram’s “Free Agent Program,” a rotating driver initiative ahead of Ram’s full Truck Series return in 2026. The 2025 race marks a rare but familiar stop for Newman, who’s already racked up wins and top finishes in the Truck Series and even captured a memorable modified victory at North Wilkesboro. Joining a roster that includes Tony Stewart and Travis Pastrana, Newman’s appearance underscores Ram and Kaulig Racing’s bold push back into the series, blending nostalgia with future ambition.
