Luke Baldwin will compete in 12 races during the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season as part of a fresh agreement with Team Reaume, the organization revealed on Tuesday. This move, focused on the talented 19-year-old, puts Baldwin behind the wheel of the No. 2 Ford F-150, beginning with the event at Rockingham Speedway on April 3, as the team aims to strengthen its lineup and performance in the competitive NASCAR Truck Series.
Racing Lineup and Schedule Announced for 2026 Season
Baldwin’s schedule covers just under half of the season, with confirmed starts at tracks including Bristol on April 10, Dover on May 15, and Charlotte on May 22, with additional rounds at North Wilkesboro, IRP, Richmond, New Hampshire, a second Bristol race, Kansas, Martinsville, and Homestead. This ambitious campaign is designed to give Baldwin more seat time and experience across a variety of circuits.
“I am super excited for this new venture with Team Reaume. Josh’s ambition and hard-working attitude throughout this whole process have been extremely appealing to me, and I can’t wait to be a part of it. We have a lot of things coming together, including more technical support and great people coming in, which makes me super optimistic. I’m very thankful for Josh and everybody at Team Reaume for the opportunity.”

Background: Experience and Achievements Leading Up to 2026
Luke Baldwin, son of former NASCAR Cup Series crew chief and team owner Tommy Baldwin, Jr., made his mark last season with a five-race program alongside ThorSport Racing. During that run, he earned top-15 finishes at North Wilkesboro and Pocono in the No. 66 Ford F-150, signaling his potential in the series. Beyond NASCAR, Baldwin has accumulated impressive results in Tour-Type Modified events and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.
His motorsports pedigree extends further with his impact in the zMAX CARS Tour Pro Late Model Division, where he helped Rick Ware Racing secure the Owner’s Championship. Baldwin also took the checkered flag at both Orange County Speedway and Anderson Motor Speedway, showcasing his versatility and winning mindset.
“I’m extremely thankful for the opportunity to continue my development with Ford Racing. Being part of a manufacturer that has meant so much to this sport is something I don’t take lightly. I’m excited to get back to work, stay focused on my craft, and continue pushing myself every day to become the best driver I can be,”
said Baldwin.
Team Owner’s Perspective and Baldwin’s Fit with the Organization
Baldwin’s signing has generated excitement within Team Reaume, as they look to capitalize on his rapid progress and proven racecraft. Team owner Josh Reaume highlighted Baldwin’s growth and familiarity with the family, shaped in part by prior collaborations with Tommy Baldwin, Jr. in the Team Hezeberg Cup program that qualified for the Daytona 500 in 2022.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Luke to Team Reaume,”
said Team Owner Josh Reaume.
“His performance in modified racing has been nothing short of impressive, and his quick adaptation to the Truck Series shows he has the talent and mindset to compete with the best. I’ve known the Baldwin family for a long time, and after working with Tommy Baldwin on the Team Hezeberg Cup program that qualified for the Daytona 500 in 2022, this feels like a special moment to now work with Luke. We’re excited to support his continued development and look forward to what he’ll accomplish this season.”
What Awaits for Baldwin and Team Reaume
The partnership opens the door for Baldwin to continue developing under the Ford Racing banner, bringing fresh optimism to Team Reaume’s campaign. The season debut for Baldwin and the No. 2 Ford F-150 will take place at Rockingham Speedway on April 3, 2026. Fans can follow the action live via FOX Sports 1, NASCAR Racing Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90, as Baldwin seeks to make an impact throughout his 12-race schedule in the NASCAR Truck Series.
