Hear from the team as Kaulig Racing will bring Dodge back to the NASCAR Cup Series<\/p>\n
This season, Stellantis made their NASCAR Truck Series return with Kaulig Racing. The team currently fields a fleet of Ram machines. Now, they\u2019re doubling down on their investment in NASCAR.<\/p>\n
Dodge is returning to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2027. Dodge last ran a Cup Series race in 2012 and say Brad Keselowski grab the championship in their last season.<\/p>\n
Kaulig Racing will field the Dodge machines next season. Drivers for the team have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n
The car will be revealed on December 4, 2026. That will air on the NASCAR Channel.<\/p>\n
Steps on the way:<\/p>\n
1) \u201cDuring NASCAR Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kaulig Racing will announce its driver lineup for the 2027 season.\u201d<\/p>\n
2) \u201cThe next stop will be the 59th annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, where Dodge will hold The Dodge Sno-Brawl. Celebrity drivers will take to the track in a head-to-head challenge in equally prepared Dodge Charger late-model stock cars for some friendly competition. Additional race details will be announced at a later date. Dodge will also reveal the race car that will wear the brand\u2019s livery in NASCAR Cup Series competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stellantis comments<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone said it was impossible to get back in one year. We said, \u2018watch this,\u2019\u201d said Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance and Direct Connection division, Stellantis North America.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, we could spend three years planning, testing and perfecting \u2026 or we could do all three in real time, on the track. It\u2019s going to be exponentially harder this way. But slow has never been part of Dodge DNA. LFG.\u201d<\/p>\n
