Dodge will return to NASCAR's premier Cup Series competition at the 2027 Daytona 500, marking the manufacturer's re-entry into stock car racing's top division. The announcement was reported by Backfire News on November 3, 2026.
The move brings Dodge back to the series after an absence that began following the 2012 season. The 2027 Daytona 500, scheduled for February of that year, will serve as the stage for Dodge's comeback race at NASCAR's most prestigious event.
Details regarding team partnerships, driver lineups, and technical specifications for the new Dodge entry have not yet been disclosed. The manufacturer previously competed in the Cup Series from 2001 through 2012, earning a championship with driver Brad Keselowski in 2012.
