Parker Kligerman will cap off Kaulig Racing’s Free Agent Program by piloting the organization’s No. 25 RAM 1500 entry for next weekend’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season-finale event at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The news comes as Kligerman, a 36-year-old native of Westport, Connecticut, made two previous Truck starts with Kaulig earlier this season. He finished 11th in his first start at Texas Motor Speedway in early May before he finished 16th at Michigan International Speedway in early June. Kligerman would then compete in the next two Truck events at San Diego’s Naval Base Coronado and Lime Rock Park with Henderson Motorsports and Spire Motorsports, respectively. During the latter event at Lime Rock, he notched a fourth-place result.
The 2026 finale at Homestead will mark Kligerman’s fourth start in the Truck division at Homestead, a track in which he has notched three top-10 results, including a ninth-place result during his latest start in 2022 and his highest-finishing result of seventh place in 2012. The Connecticut native has also recorded a pair of seventh-place results in five O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts at Homestead and a single Cup Series start at the venue, the latter of which occurred in 2013.
“Getting the opportunity to jump into the No. 25 Ram 1500 this year has been an absolute blast,” Kligerman said. “Ram created something genuinely cool with the Free Agent Program, and getting the call to come back a third time and close out the season means a lot to me. Homestead is one of the most challenging, fun tracks on the schedule because you’re constantly running up against the wall and the weather is usually beautiful. It’s my favorite place to end the season.”
“This program was designed to generate buzz and give fans something unique every single week,” Kligerman added. “To be trusted with the wheel for three races—and to bring the curtain down on Ram’s comeback season at Homestead—is an honor. Kaulig Racing built a powerful five-truck team this year, and we’re looking to end the year with a great finish.”
Kaulig Racing launched its free-agent driver program ahead of its inaugural Craftsman Truck Series campaign in November 2025. The program features various competitors from multiple racing divisions and disciplines. Each will compete in at least one Truck event in one of Kaulig’s RAM 1500 entries numbered 25. The competitors who compete in the entry would not compete for the 2026 Truck Series driver’s championship. They will, however, be evaluated by their on-track performance for a season-ending program prize.
Currently, Kaulig Racing’s No. 25 entry, which is led by crew chief Dan Stillman, is ranked in 27th place in the 2026 owner’s standings after 24 of the 25-race schedule. The entry is one of five that is fielded by Kaulig. It competes alongside the No. 10 entry piloted by Corey LaJoie, the No. 12 entry piloted by rookie Brenden “Butterbean” Queen, the No. 14 entry piloted by newcomer Timothy “Mini” Tyrrell and the No. 16 entry piloted by Justin Haley.
Tony Stewart, Ty Dillon, Colin Braun, Corey LaJoie, Carson Ferguson, Parker Kligerman, AJ Allmendinger, Clint Bowyer, Travis Pastrana, Jamie McMurray, Ryan Newman, Conor Daly, Elliott Sadler and Regan Smith have piloted the entry at least once. Dillon, Braun, Ferguson, Kligerman, Daly, Smith and Stewart have each piloted the No. 25 entry multiple times, with Ferguson being the latest competitor to drive the entry at Martinsville Speedway.
At the conclusion of the finale at Homestead, Kligerman will tie Braun, Daly and Ferguson with the most starts in the No. 25 Kaulig entry at three apiece. The entry’s best on-track result is sixth place, which was achieved by Allmendinger at Watkins Glen International in early May, as Kligerman strives to cap off the Free Agent Program on a strong note at Homestead amid Kaulig Racing’s inaugural campaign in the Truck Series division.
Parker Kligerman’s third Craftsman Truck Series start of the 2026 season at Homestead-Miami Speedway is scheduled to occur next Friday, November 6, at 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1, NASCAR Racing Network and SiriusXM.
