Tony Stewart’s widely anticipated return to NASCAR is shaping up to be larger than first suggested, with credible signs pointing to a potential second race on his schedule. As momentum builds around the Tony Stewart NASCAR return, discussions about further appearances are growing stronger, moving beyond initial expectations of a single event.
Plans for Multiple Races Take Shape
Originally, early reports indicated that the partnership between Stewart–Kaulig Racing and RAM would involve more than just a one-off participation. Recent updates confirm that this was never intended as a novelty act; instead, the arrangement always hinted at a broader vision with sustained involvement. Kaulig and RAM have now officially launched their All-Star Truck Series team, clearly signaling their ambitious plans for Stewart and the No. 25 entry.
All-Star Truck Series Program Unveiled
With the All-Star Truck Series program, the No. 25 truck will feature a rotating lineup of drivers each week. While some athletes will make single appearances, others—including big names like Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne—are being considered for multiple starts. This signals a significant and flexible approach, focusing on high-profile competition throughout the season instead of limiting participation to one promotional race.
Confirmation from official sources and earlier reporting strengthen confidence that Stewart’s return, which begins with the Daytona event, may include further outings in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Notable Drivers and Expanding Roster
The All-Star program is expected to bring in several prominent names from the sport. According to a NASCAR news updates page,
“Two of the big names we heard were considered “near locks” for the program were Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart. Other names we have heard include Will Brown, Elliot Sadler, Ryan Newman, AJ Allmendinger and others.”

This lineup shows the depth and ambition of the Kaulig/RAM project, reinforcing why Stewart’s involvement is more than just a passing headline.
San Diego Considered for Stewart’s Next Start
As Stewart’s return begins with a confirmed start at Daytona, all eyes are now on where he will compete next. The prospect of a San Diego race is gaining traction among insiders, as noted in further social media updates:
“When we first covered the Tony Stewart to Kaulig/RAM we mentioned it could be multiple races. There are other strong possibilities for a second or even third race for Smoke. Circle San Diego as a possibility.”

Given the news outlet’s strong track record with prior predictions, the speculation about San Diego is being given increasing serious consideration in the NASCAR community. If a second race is officially confirmed, it would transform Stewart’s return into a true campaign, rather than a single nostalgic appearance.
Implications for Stewart and the Series
Should Tony Stewart be announced for a San Diego event, it would represent a significant escalation of his comeback plans. The Kaulig/RAM All-Star entry would shift from a rotating promotional project to one of the season’s most highly anticipated and strategically constructed teams. For fans and for Stewart himself, this would bring renewed attention to both his legacy and the ongoing excitement in the Craftsman Truck Series. As speculation continues, the motorsports world closely watches for official word on Stewart’s developing schedule.
We were the first to report many weeks back that Kaulig and RAM were preparing to have an All Star truck. Today they made that official! The truck will be the no.25 truck and will have different drivers announced each week. Some drivers will run more than once.
