Too Soon? Dodge Racing Toward Cup In 2027 But It Could Be Challenging

Dodge is reportedly returning to NASCAR Cup in 2027 with Kaulig Racing and likely engine support from ECR, giving NASCAR a sought-after fourth manufacturer.
Kaulig would be Dodge’s only supported team and is starting without a dedicated tech center, so early seasons may be rocky — but the recent RAM truck effort has already generated buzz.
Rumors tie Brad Keselowski and other top drivers to the program; if Dodge shows quick progress it could lure big names with funding and momentum.
