Kasey Kahne is expected to come out of retirement and return to full-time NASCAR competition beginning in 2027. The 46-year-old is expected to race full-time in the Craftsman Truck Series and sign with Spire Motorsports.
Kahne last competed full-time in the Cup Series in 2018. The 18-time Cup Series winner announced that year would be his final but his season ended prematurely due to health issues.
Kahne formerly drove for Hendrick Motorsports from 2012-2017 and won two crown jewel races, the Coca-Cola 600 in 2012 and the Brickyard 400 in 2017, with the latter being his final career win to date.
