- The suspected vehicle makes a few quick appearances; however, it is clear that the truck is at least a mock attempt at the Truck Series body style. It includes the door number 25 and the current CRAFTSMAN windshield banner used in the Truck Series.

NASCAR is racing in Mopar’s backyard this weekend, and the RAM Trucks X account also teased a major announcement for this Sunday.
