Dodge will return to NASCAR's premier Cup Series competition at the 2027 Daytona 500, marking the manufacturer's comeback to the sport's top level after an absence since the 2012 season.
The announcement, reported by Backfire News on November 3, 2026, confirms Dodge's re-entry into the series that features the most prestigious events in American stock car racing. The Daytona 500, held annually at Daytona International Speedway, serves as the season-opening crown jewel event.
Dodge previously competed in the Cup Series from 2001 through 2012, capturing a championship with Brad Keselowski in 2012 before withdrawing from the series. The 2027 return would come 15 years after the brand's departure.
