Kaulig Racing has signed Dirt Late Model driver Carson Ferguson
Dirt Late Model star Carson Ferguson is set to make his NASCAR Truck Series debut. He’ll drive the No. 25 Ram 1500 on Friday, April 10, at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Kaulig Racing recently signed a deal to bring Ram back to NASCAR. They have a full roster of drivers competing in the Trucks Series.
Additionally, they have a Free Agent Program which aims to give drivers a unique opportunity at the NASCAR ladder. The seat has also been filled by veterans of the sport.
Fergsuon completed in the reality television series “Race for the Seat” which helped Kaulig Racing select their drivers for 2026. That series concluded with a 20-lap late model stock race, which Fergsuon won and he cashed $50,000 for the effort.
The 25-year-old currently runs full-time in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series for Paylor Motorsports.
Chris Rice comments
“Carson proved he has the talent and drive to step up to this level,” said Chris Rice, Kaulig Racing’s chief executive officer.
“His performance on ‘Race for the Seat’ showed us what he is capable of, and we’re excited to give him this shot in the No. 25 Ram under the Free Agent Program at one of the sport’s most iconic tracks.”
“We told him during the show that he would have a chance to drive at Martinsville Speedway this year but the more we thought about it the more we wanted to see his talent on the track so we moved him up to Bristol instead. We hope this leads to great things for Carson.”
Carson Ferguson comments
“I’m thrilled for the chance to make my NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series debut at Bristol through the Ram Free Agent Program,” Ferguson said.
“Competing on ‘Race for the Seat’ was an incredible experience, and even though I came up just short of the full-time ride, getting this shot to race with Kaulig Racing means a lot. Bristol is a tough, high-banked track and a heck of a place to make your pavement debut in NASCAR.”
Ferguson concluded, “I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of that No. 25 Ram and show what I can do.”
