RAM Announces NASCAR Cup Series Entry Timeline
Days after Stellantis’ RAM Trucks announced its 2026 NASCAR Truck Series entry at Michigan International Speedway, CEO Tim Kuniskis has now confirmed the timeline for the brand’s entry into the top-tier Cup Series.

Days after Stellantis’ RAM Trucks announced its 2026 NASCAR Truck Series entry at Michigan International Speedway, CEO Tim Kuniskis has now confirmed the timeline for the brand’s entry into the top-tier Cup Series.
RAM’s entry into NASCAR makes it the first OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) in the sport since Toyota introduced its Tundra in 2004. While RAM hasn’t formed a team yet, Kuniskis confidently shared during the announcement that the brand would be ready to race at Daytona next year. He also hinted that the ultimate goal is to race in the Cup Series and that the Truck Series serves as a step to enter the sport. He said:
“There will be more details on our NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series program later this year. We are undoubtedly having fun with this project, and I truly look forward to sharing information on our team and how getting back on track relates to the future of Ram performance.”

He added:
“We’ll be on track in Daytona in eight months, and the way we’re going to do it is unlike anyone else.
“We’re looking for a date to the prom right now. So how am I going to get to Cup? That’s going to depend on how I get to Truck. So however we get to Truck is going to obviously weigh heavily on ‘do I have a path to Cup?’ Our intention is not to do a one-hit wonder and go to Truck and not to Cup. That’s not our plan.”
Now, Kuniskis has revealed further details on the RAM Trucks’ plans to enter the Cup Series in 2027, a year after the brand’s Truck Series entry. Speaking with Kevin Harvick on NASCAR on FOX, he said:
“Coming into Truck [Series] is a lot easier than coming into Cup [Series], and that’s why we were really confident with all the work that we’ve done on the Truck to say we’ll be in Daytona.
“Now, TBD who the team’s gonna be but we have every confidence that we’re going to be in Daytona.”
He added:
“It’s gonna take a little bit longer to get to Cup. Our goal is to get the Cup a year after that [2027].
“Now, everybody’s told me we’re crazy. ‘There’s no way you’re gonna get there.’ But we think there’s a couple of things from our legacy that might speed that development time up. And maybe we could be in Daytona this [coming] year with Truck, and then the following year, Daytona in Cup.
“A lot of very smart people, smarter than me have told me you better plan on two years to get back to Cup. But TBD, I’m always pushing for the quicker timeline, so I’m hoping that it’s 2027. 2026 for Truck and 2027 for Cup.”

Hall of Famer Mark Martin Slams NASCAR’s Commercial Era for Stripping Away Driver Personality

NASCAR icon Mark Martin has launched a blistering critique against the sport’s commercial era. The Hall of Famer claims corporate pressures have systematically erased driver personalities, creating a generation of sanitized competitors. His explosive revelation targets the invisible forces reshaping modern racers.
Martin insists today’s drivers possess hidden depth that sponsorship demands actively suppress. This corporate sanitization prevents magnetic superstars from emerging despite extraordinary on-track talent. The observation follows Sunday’s Mexico City race, where fearless driving failed to translate into fan connection.
Mark Martin Believes ‘Commerciality’ Suppressing NASCAR Drivers’ Personalities
Martin minced no words about NASCAR’s personality crisis during a revealing interview with Kenny Wallace. He contends drivers consciously suppress their authentic selves to satisfy sponsors and officials. The result is a field of racers appearing artificially bland.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s been enough super high rivalry,” Martin stated on “The Kenny Wallace Conversation.” His voice carried decades of track wisdom. “First of all, you had to water down the personalities, and that hasn’t helped.”
The 66-year-old legend sees through the polished facades. “I truly believe that the drivers today are not nearly as vanilla as they appear to be. I’ll guarantee you Jimmy Johnson was not.”
He pointed to Jimmie Johnson as prime evidence, a champion who concealed vibrant character beneath corporate polish.
“Jimmie Johnson’s one hell of a character, but he never showed that because of the commercialism of the sport. I think that has stopped these next generation as emerging as big superheroes.”
This sponsorship muzzle prevents new heroes from capturing the public imagination despite jaw-dropping skill.
Sunday’s Mexico City battle exemplified the disconnect. “I’m looking at those guys out there and they’re driving their a** off. It’s incredible,” Martin observed. “But yet so many people don’t realize that … there’s just not enough superheroes.” Raw talent isn’t translating into stardom.

Kenny Wallace and Martin Discuss Team Culture Enforcing Driver Conformity in NASCAR
The conformity pressure starts at the team level, according to insiders. Podcast host Wallace singled out Hendrick Motorsports’ leadership for enforcing robotic professionalism. He claimed four-time champion Jeff Gordon actively discourages driver individuality.
“Jeff Gordon wants his drivers vanilla, and that’s what I want everybody to know. Jeff wants robotic, corporate drivers,” Wallace bluntly stated during their conversation. “He doesn’t want anybody bucking the system.” The comment sparked knowing agreement from Martin.
Martin’s own Hendrick experience offered a stark contrast. When he joined the powerhouse team in 2009, owner Rick Hendrick demanded zero persona adjustments. “There was zero pressure on me to be anything different than who I was,” Martin emphasized.
But rookies faced different rules. “Jimmie came in. He was a rookie. He would want to conform,” Martin explained. New drivers often mask true personalities, believing it’s required for success.
This self-censorship creates NASCAR’s core dilemma. Talent isn’t lacking — only the unfiltered personas that made legends like Dale Earnhardt cultural icons. The commercial era’s invisible rules trade authenticity for sponsor approval.
Martin sees dangerous consequences. Without magnetic personalities, even spectacular racing like Mexico City’s fails to captivate beyond core fans. The solution? Unleash the real characters beneath the firesuits. The Hall of Famer’s challenge echoes beyond the interview.
Can NASCAR balance commercial realities with the raw personalities that built its legacy? Sunday’s grandstands will reveal the answer.

Daytona Motor Mouths: Shane van Gisbergen wins NASCAR Mexico City race
The guys break down Shane van Gisbergen’s NASCAR win in Mexico City, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s beef with Carson Hocevar and more before Pocono.
Sure, NASCAR is going from a 15-turn road course in Mexico to a familiar old track in the Pocono Mountains, but Pocono Raceway isn’t your typical stock-car oval track.
Pocono takes the “tri-oval” concept to an extreme.
Track construction began in the mid-1960s, six years after the opening of Daytona International Speedway brought a whole new tri-oval to racing. Pocono would become more triangle than tri-oval, however, with three distinctly different turns.
Pocono’s track was designed by Indy-racing legend Rodger Ward, who modeled each of three turns after turns on famous tracks in the Indy world: Trenton Speedway (Turn 1, 14 degrees of banking), Indianapolis (Turn 2, 8 degrees) and the Milwaukee Mile (Turn 3, 6 degrees).
Practically all forms of big-league auto racing have raced at Pocono, including, since 1971, NASCAR. The tradition continues this weekend, and here’s how to watch, including Prime Video’s fifth and final broadcast of its five-week run of Cup Series coverage.
Friday: Truckin’ in the Poconos
12:30 p.m.: Truck Series practice and qualifying (FS2).
5: Truck Series, MillerTech Battery 200 (FS1).
Saturday: Lots of NASCAR noise in the mountains
10 a.m.: Xfinity Series practice and qualifying (CW).
12:30 p.m.: Cup Series practice and qualifying (Prime).
3:30: Xfinity Series, Explore Pocono 250 (CW).
Sunday NASCAR: Prime time, one more time, at Pocono
2 p.m.: Cup Series, The Great American Getaway 400 (Prime).
Elsewhere this weekend for NASCAR: ARCA and the IMSA sports-cars
Saturday: ARCA at Elko (Minn.) Speedway, 9 p.m. (FS2).
Sunday: IMSA’s six-hour race at Watkins Glen, noon (NBC and Peacock).

Brown will join Kaulig Racing for his second NASCAR Cup Series in the Grant Park 165 on Sunday, July 6, 2025.
