In an official statement, Bowyer said: “I’m pumped to get back in a truck, especially one with Ram power behind it.

Elsewhere, McMurray added: “Racing on a naval base in San Diego for the very first time is going to be an incredible experience.

"Street courses reward precision and adaptability, and I’m looking forward to teaming with Kaulig and Ram to make some history in that No. 25 truck.”

Further into the statement, Tim Kuniskis, Head of American Brands, SRT Performance, North America marketing and retail strategy at Stellantis [Ram owner], revealed just how excited he was to make this happen.

“Bringing in veterans like Clint and Jamie adds another level of excitement, which is why we created the Free Agent Program,” Kuniskis said.

“Their experience and success help showcase Ram’s unique approach to America’s motorsport while allowing fans to watch a couple of their favorite drivers get behind the wheel of a Ram 1500 with Kaulig Racing.”
