Dodge will re-enter the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027, with its first entry slated for the Daytona 500, the series’ season‑opening showdown. The announcement was made on November 3, confirming the automaker’s official commitment to field a full‑time Cup effort beginning with next year’s marquee event. The return ends a multi‑year hiatus for the brand and pairs it with Kaulig Racing, a current Cup Series competitor, to develop the new cars.
Motorsport.com and AP News highlighted Dodge’s intent to build on its storied NASCAR past, while Yahoo Sports stressed the partnership as a central element of the comeback plan. The collaboration signals renewed manufacturer presence on the grid. Kaulig Racing will begin technical development and testing in the coming months, and NASCAR is expected to issue detailed specifications and schedule confirmations in the weeks ahead.
The next public update is likely to come from the sport’s governing body as the season approaches. Stakeholders will watch for sponsor roll‑outs and driver line‑up announcements.
