Dodge is close to finalizing NASCAR Cup Series return for 2027

Summary

Dodge may return to the NASCAR Cup Series for the 2027 season, with negotiations reportedly nearing completion. If finalized, this would mark Dodge's first participation since the 2012 season, potentially debuting at the Daytona 500 on February 21, 2027. Currently, Chevrolet, Ford, and Toyota compete in the Cup Series, so Dodge's comeback could introduce new dynamics and rivalries.

An official announcement has yet to be made, but Dodge's involvement would represent a significant moment for NASCAR as it continues to seek broader manufacturer engagement.
