Dodge's clock is ticking if it wants to return to NASCAR next year. The 2027 season begins in February with the Daytona 500, just four months away, and if everything goes right, fans will watch four teams compete in the nation’s most-watched motorsport.
According to a new report from The Athletic, citing “multiple people briefed on the situation,” Dodge should be racing in NASCAR’s season opener on February 21, or so the parties involved believe. Nothing is confirmed yet, and negotiations are ongoing to resolve the remaining challenges.
