Kasey Kahne returning to NASCAR, joins Spire full-time in Truck Series for 2027 per report

Kasey Kahne, the 46-year-old NASCAR veteran, is set to return to the sport full-time in the Truck Series for the 2027 season, according to a report by The Athletic on October 2. Spire Motorsports, who have fielded multiple drivers in Truck races this year, are planning to make Kahne their full-time entry. Spire acquired Kyle Busch Motorsports from its founder in 2023, and recently announced 16-year-old Tristan McKee as a driver for the upcoming season.

Previously, Kahne was a full-time driver in the Cup Series from 2004 to 2018, achieving 18 career wins. After retiring due to health concerns, Kahne has since transitioned into owning a dirt-racing team and competing in World of Outlaws and High Limit racing.
