Kaulig Racing confirmed on February 28 that Corey LaJoie will drive the No. 25 RAM truck at Darlington Raceway on March 20. This marks a continuation of the team’s rotation of drivers behind the wheel of the free agent truck in the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season.
Recent Performance and Experience in the Truck Series
LaJoie recently competed at Daytona driving for Henderson Motorsports in the No. 75 truck, where engine trouble forced him to retire early, finishing 34th. This upcoming race at Darlington will be his 16th career start in the Truck Series and his third appearance at this particular track. Previously, he earned 16th and 20th place results at Darlington in 2023 and 2025 while driving for Spire Motorsports.
Driver Rotation for Kaulig’s No. 25 Truck This Season
Corey LaJoie becomes the fourth driver to take the wheel of Kaulig’s No. 25 truck across the first four races of the 2026 season. The rotation began with Tony Stewart at Daytona International Speedway, followed by Ty Dillon at EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta, and Colin Braun currently racing at the St. Petersburg street circuit.
Implications of Driver Changes on Team Strategy
The frequent driver shifts in the No. 25 truck highlight Kaulig Racing’s strategy to utilize different talent early in the season. LaJoie’s experience at Darlington and in the Truck Series positions him as a solid choice for the team as they seek a competitive showing on this challenging track. Observers will watch closely to see how these driver changes affect Kaulig’s results going forward in the 2026 truck schedule.
