For the 2026 season, Chastain will have Brandon McSwain as his new crew chief. McSwain has previously worked as a race engineer for William Byron, bagging 16 wins in all. Chastain’s former crew chief, Phil Surgen, will move to a new role within the team.
Tony Stewart returns to NASCAR at Daytona, driving the No. 25 Ram Truck for Kaulig Racing in the 2026 Truck Series opener.
Quite simply, it's go time. More technically speaking, according to NASCA R, the green flag represents unique purposes when it waves: 1) the start of on-track activity for practice, qualifying or race, 2) racing to continue under full-speed conditions, and/or 3) transitioning a race from a caution period to full-speed conditions.
RAM and Kaulig Racing recently announced a reality TV program, "Race for the Seat," to name their fifth entry for the 2026 Truck Series debut.
