Daly joins Kaulig for Kansas NASCAR Truck Series race

Conor Daly will drive the No. 25 Ram 1500 for Kaulig Racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Kansas Speedway on Sept. 26.

Daly, who made his seventh career Truck Series start at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park in July, joins Kaulig’s five-truck fleet, which includes full-time entries for Corey LaJoie (No. 10), Brenden Queen (No. 12), Mini Tyrrell (No. 14) and Justin Haley (No. 16).

“Indianapolis was all about momentum and tight-quarters racing, but Kansas is a completely different animal,” Daly said. “It’s fast, aerodynamic-dependent and wide open – you really have to nail your setup and trust the truck through those long corners.”

Ram made its return to NASCAR in 2026 as a manufacturer partner with Kaulig Racing, and has run a rotating cast of high-profile drivers in its No.25 entry as part of its Ram Free Agent program.

“I had an absolute blast racing for Kaulig Racing and Ram at Indianapolis,” Daly said. “The team welcomed me with open arms, the truck was competitive, and getting to race in front of my hometown fans made it a special night. I’m grateful for the opportunity and excited to keep the momentum going at Kansas.”

Daly will make his full-time return to IndyCar next year as the driver of the No.24 Dreyer & Reinbold Chevrolet. His 133 IndyCar starts include one pole position, six top-five finishes, 26 top-10s and 213 laps led. In the 2026 Indianapolis 500, he led four laps and battled for the lead before finishing 12th.

On the NASCAR side, he has made 12 starts across the Cup Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Truck Series.
