Kasey Kahne, the retired NASCAR Cup Series driver, is set to compete full-time in the 2027 NASCAR Truck Series with Spire Motorsports. The promotion, dubbed "Kasey Kahne Friday," will make its debut in a few weeks. Kahne last raced in the Cup Series in 2018, when he was forced to quit due to health issues. He has since found success in shorter events like Sprint Car racing and an O'Reily Series race.
Spire co-owner Jeff Dickerson approached Kahne with the idea during the Knoxville Nationals. Kahne, who enjoys the shorter races and night races, is not concerned about his health on the Truck Series. The Truck Series is also more comfortable for drivers than the Cup Series. The 2027 Truck Series schedule consists of 25 races, compared to 38 in the Cup Series.
Kahne will continue racing Sprint Cars on occasion as well, focusing on his full Truck Series schedule for most of the year.
