Kasey Kahne Returning To NASCAR With Full-Time Truck Ride In 2027

Kasey Kahne, 46, is making a comeback — he’ll run full time in the NASCAR Truck Series in 2027 for Spire Motorsports (No. 77) on a one‑year deal.
He walked away from full‑time Cup racing in 2018 because the weekly physical grind was taking a toll, and now wants to finish his NASCAR career on his own terms — competitive, but with more fun.
Kahne plans to keep racing sprint cars, expects more simulator time, and is curious to see how he stacks up against the strong field after his last truck start in 2015 (plus a one‑off in 2025).
