Dodge will return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027 through a new partnership with Kaulig Racing, the team announced on November 6, 2026, at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The manufacturer, which last competed full-time in the series in 2012, revealed the plans during a media event attended by Kaulig Racing owner Matt Kaulig, team president Chris Rice, and drivers AJ Allmendinger and Ty Dillon.
The announcement marks Dodge's re-entry into NASCAR's premier division after a 15-year absence. Kaulig Racing, which has fielded Chevrolet entries in the Cup Series since 2021, will switch to Dodge machinery for the 2027 season. The team currently operates the No. 10 and No. 16 entries in the Cup Series.
Allmendinger, a veteran with wins across NASCAR's three national series, and Dillon, a former Xfinity Series champion, were present at the Homestead-Miami Speedway event. Specific driver lineups for the 2027 season were not disclosed in the initial announcement.
