What’s Happening?

IndyCar veteran Conor Daly will return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series later this season, racing for Ram and Kaulig Racing in their No. 25 truck.

  • The 34-year-old Indiana native will take the wheel for the truck Ram and Kaulig tout as their Free Agent Truck at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. Daly joins the laundry list of drivers to pilot the No. 25, including several NASCAR legends like Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer.
  • In total, Daly has 12 career NASCAR National Series starts with starts in all three series. His most recent NASCAR start came in late 2024 in the Truck Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway for Niece Motorsports.
  • Prior to that start, Daly raced at IRP that same season, finishing 29th for Niece. In his six NASCAR Truck Series starts, he has finished no better than 17th.
  • Daly raced full-time in IndyCar last season, but scaled back down to part-time this season. His lone start came this past weekend in the 110th Indianapolis 500, where he finished 12th.
