Kaulig Racing is gearing up for a significant shift, preparing to go independent and boost its operations as the RCR alliance nears its end. With a vision for the 2026 NASCAR season, the team is making bold moves, including a series of new hires to strengthen its setup. But here's where it gets interesting: Kaulig Racing is not just changing its operations; it's also transforming its driver lineup. The team has recently announced that Brenden Queen, the reigning ARCA Menards champion, will be their Xfinity Series driver for the final three races of 2025. This move has fans buzzing with excitement, speculating about a potential full-time Truck Series ride with Kaulig next season. As Kaulig Racing embarks on this new chapter, the team is also expanding its operations, with plans to race in the Truck Series with five entries, partnering with RAM. In the Xfinity and Cup Series, they will continue to partner with Chevrolet, with a potential switch to RAM in the Cup Series in 2027. Kaulig Racing's president, Chris Rice, confirms that the team is ramping up its hiring process to ensure a smooth transition to independence, building a reliable team capable of standing on its own two feet for the next decade, as per Matt Kaulig's vision.
