After months of rumors, Dodge has officially announced its return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027. The manufacturer will race with Kaulig Racing full-time in NASCAR’s premier series, the first time since 2012.
No drivers have been announced for Kaulig Racing next year. However, current Kaulig drivers A.J. Allmendinger and Ty Dillon are expected to return to the organization. The revelation of the new Dodge car will take place on Snowball Derby weekend next month.

“No drivers announced but Allmendinger and TDillon expected to return to Kaulig in 2027. No engine manufacturer announced but expected to be ECR,” Pockrass wrote via X.
