La hermandad de la potencia regresa a las carreras de la NASCAR Cup Racing
November 2, 2026 , Las Vegas - It’s official. Dodge doubles down on American performance, returning to NASCAR Cup Series racing.
Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance and Direct Connection division, Stellantis North America, shared the news during a sneak preview of the Stellantis display at the 2026 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. For Dodge, the message is simple: gasoline-powered performance is back at the center of the brand, and Dodge is heading back to NASCAR Cup Series racing.
"Everyone said it was impossible to get back in one year. We said, 'watch this,'" said Kuniskis. "Sure, we could spend three years planning, testing and perfecting … or we could do all three in real time, on the track. It's going to be exponentially harder this way. But slow has never been part of Dodge DNA. LFG."
Dodge’s storied history in NASCAR Cup has helped shape, mold and push the series forward, from the first Dodge NASCAR Cup win in 1953 to a championship for the No. 2 Blue Deuce Dodge Charger in 2012, the brand’s final year in Cup. Today, that story begins a new chapter.
That new chapter builds on momentum already underway across Stellantis’ North American motorsports portfolio.Ram’s return to NASCAR competition with Kaulig Racing, which will now serve as Dodge and Ram's anchor team, has reestablished a factory-backed presence at the track and created a foundation for the next phase of the company's commitment to American motorsports. Now, Dodge is preparing to carry that momentum back to NASCAR Cup Series racing.
Spearheading the Dodge return to the NASCAR Cup Series is Dodge SRT Racing, which leads all North American motorsports efforts, including NASCAR, NHRA and additional motorsports series.
The road back to NASCAR Cup Series racing will include several key moments leading into the 2027 season:
1. During NASCAR Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Kaulig Racing will announce its driver lineup for the 2027 season
2. The next stop will be the 59th annual Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, where Dodge will hold The Dodge Sno-Brawl. Celebrity drivers will take to the track in a head-to-head challenge in equally prepared Dodge Charger late-model stock cars for some friendly competition. Additional race details will be announced at a later date. Dodge will also reveal the race car that will wear the brand's livery in NASCAR Cup Series competition
Fans can watch the reveal of the new Dodge stock car at the 59th annual Snowball Derby via livestream on FloRacing and on the NASCAR Channel courtesy of Flo Racing on Dec. 4.
The wait is over. Dodge is back.
Snowball Derby
First held in 1968, the Snowball Derby is one of short-track racing's most prestigious events. The annual 300-lap Super Late Model race at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, has attracted generations of top short-track competitors and NASCAR stars.
Dodge
Durante 112 años, la marca Dodge ha mantenido vivo el espíritu de los hermanos John y Horace Dodge. Hoy, ese legado resuena con más fuerza que nunca en la nueva generación de Dodge, la marca de desempeño de Estados Unidos.
The arrival of the new 600-horsepower 2027 Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition — the quickest, fastest and most powerful SIXPACK Charger and the highest specific horsepower muscle car ever — is the newest addition to the award-winning Dodge Charger lineup, which also features:
- Dodge Charger R/T con motor SIXPACK y 420 caballos de fuerza con la potencia más estándar de cualquier auto de alta potencia
- Dodge Charger Scat Pack de 550 caballos de fuerza, con un motor Twin-Turbo SIXPACK de alta potencia (H.O.) y 3.0 L, el motor Hurricane más potente en producción
Todos los Charger vienen estándar con tracción en todas las ruedas y ofrecen configuraciones de cupé de dos puertas o sedán de cuatro puertas, porque con el rendimiento viene la posibilidad de elegir.
La línea Dodge también está impulsada por el SUV de gasolina más potente de la historia, el Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat de 710 caballos de fuerza, con el legendario motor HEMI V-8 supercargado. El Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak rompe con lo convencional con su SUV de tres filas de asientos, desbloqueando más de 20 millones de combinaciones de personalización potenciales. El Dodge Durango R/T 392 ofrece los mayores caballos de fuerza por dólar entre los SUV de gasolina, y el Durango GT HEMI AWD de 360 caballos de fuerza y 5.7 litros sigue siendo el AWD V-8 más accesible en la industria.
The purchase of a SIXPACK-powered Dodge Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, Charger Scat Pack or Durango SRT Hellcat model includes one day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School, the official Dodge//SRT high-performance driving school.
