Dodge Confirms It Will Return to the NASCAR Cup Championship in 2027

It will field two Charger-based Cup cars that will be revealed on December 4, just months before the new season kicks off.

Tim Kuniskis was excited as he spoke to a group of journalists on the eve of the 2026 SEMA show. The head of all things performance for Stellantis North America built the tension by pacing back and forth in front of an SRT-branded Jeep Scrambler before he dropped the big news that he’s clearly been sitting on for some time: Dodge is returning to the NASCAR Cup Series.

While Ram has been running five vehicles in the NASCAR Truck series since it returned last year, Kuniskis confirmed to Car and Driver that Dodge will start by fielding two entries in the top-flight series, which will be run by Kaulig Racing. Kuniskis also confirmed to C/D that, unsurprisingly, Dodge’s chosen weapon for the Cup series will be the Charger.

Kuniskis said that while everyone they’ve spoken to has told the company they’ll need a minimum of three years to develop their Cup car, the company doesn’t want to wait that long. Instead, Dodge is planning to return to the series from the onset of the 2027 season—where it’ll be forced to adapt and develop their car and program in real time.

Kuniskis also told us that Dodge is under no illusions that joining now is ill-advised. “I want to make it clear that we know we’re premature,” he said.
