The 2027 NASCAR Cup Series lineup is already stirring conversation, and one name that could be on the move is Ty Dillon.
Rumors in the Pit Lane
Dillon, the grandson of veteran team owner Richard Childress, currently sits 32nd in the points standings without a win or a top‑10 finish to his credit.
The speculation gained traction after whispers that Chevrolet might be preparing to step away from Kaulig Racing, a move that could open the door for Dodge to re‑enter the Chevrolet‑powered program.
If Chevrolet does indeed pull the plug, the team would need a new driver, and the early names floating around include Josh Berry, who was recently released from Wood Brothers Racing, as well as Corey LaJoie and Justin Haley.
Both Berry and LaJoie bring a blend of experience and fresh energy, while Haley, a young driver with a growing résumé, could also be in the mix.
Team principal Matt Kaulig has not publicly addressed the rumors, and veteran journalist Bob Pockrass, who covers the sport for The Athletic, notes that no official word has emerged yet.
The potential shift also raises questions about the broader manufacturer landscape in NASCAR, where Dodge’s return would mark a notable change after years of Chevrolet dominance.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the season progresses, waiting for any confirmation that could reshape the driver market.
