A Historic Racing Milestone
The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT, boasting 777 horsepower, will serve as the pace car for the inaugural NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event known as the Navy 250, which takes place on a temporary 3.4‑mile, 16‑turn street circuit inside Naval Base Coronado in San Diego.
This race marks the first time a national NASCAR series has been staged on an active U.S. military installation, turning the base into a celebratory venue for the Navy’s 250th anniversary.
Under the hood, the Rumble Bee SRT houses a supercharged 6.2‑liter HEMI Hellcat V8 that delivers 777 horsepower, propelling the truck from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, covering the quarter‑mile in 11.6 seconds at 116 mph, and reaching a targeted top speed of 170 mph.
Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis said he feels honored to lead the field at Coronado, emphasizing the synergy between Ram’s performance heritage and the Navy’s legacy.
The event blends high‑octane automotive performance with military tradition, showcasing the Rumble Bee SRT as the fastest production pickup ever while honoring the Navy’s historic milestone.
