A video posted to YouTube by Auto Buyers Guide briefly showed what appeared to be a Ram 1500 in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series trim.
The video, which has since been made private, was part of the unveiling for the new Ram 1500 by its parent company Stellantis.
The stock car appears to have the same facia as the new Ram 1500 and the Craftsman window banner that appears on every Truck Series racer.
Only fueling the fire, Ram Trucks posted a short video captioned “Fire up the engines—Big things are on the horizon. 06.08.25” to its social media platforms. That video features a hauler with Ram branding.
Reports that Stellantis could return to NASCAR broke earlier this year by way of Dodge sister brand Ram.
The expected return would be for the 2026 season, marking a decade since Dodge left the sport.

It’s expected that the return of Stellantis to NASCAR would only be at the Truck Series level. However, there is speculation that the company could compete in the Cup Series in 2028 with Dodge.
Ford, Toyota, and Chevrolet all currently compete in the Truck Series with the F-150, Tacoma, and Tundra respectively.
NASCAR will race at Michigan International Speedway with the Truck Series on June 8 (AEST).
