Travis Pastrana Will Run Rumble Bee at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Travis Pastrana will run the Rumble Bee paint scheme at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Ram’s new Rumble Bee family adds V-8-powered pickup trucks to a lineup built around performance numbers instead of trim badges, with sales timing split between later this year and the first half of next year.

Rumble Bee Powertrains

Ram revealed the family with three engines: a 395-hp 5.7-liter Hemi, a 470-hp 6.4-liter Apache, and a 777-hp supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat. Every Rumble Bee uses a quad-cab body style and a five-foot-seven-inch bed.

The 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT is the quickest and most aggressive version in the group. Ram says it is targeted to top out at 170 mph and reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, with Bilstein adaptive dampers and a height-adjustable air suspension supporting the package.

Pastrana’s appearance ties the truck family to a driver name that carries its own weight in performance circles. The move gives Ram a public stage for a model line that includes the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT, while keeping the focus on the new trucks rather than a generic launch.

The 392 Track Package and the SRT model also share 16.1-inch front rotors clamped by Brembo six-piston front calipers. Ram said the 6.4-liter V-8 is the first time it has used that engine in a half-ton pickup, which separates the Rumble Bee 392 from the entry-level 5.7-liter version before the broader family reaches buyers.

Ram Truck Rollout

The 5.7-liter Rumble Bee is set to go on sale later this year, while the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT is expected in the first half of next year. That gives buyers two separate entry points into the lineup, with the 777-hp model arriving after the lower-output version and carrying the most aggressive hardware.
