Dodge is seeking to rejoin the NASCAR Truck Series competition as early as 2026, The Athletic reported.

The manufacturer has filed paperwork to get NASCAR's approval to enter the series through its Ram brand of trucks, per the report, published Saturday. Already, Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota trucks race on the circuit.

The application is under review. To return to the track in 2026, approval would be needed within the next few months to give Dodge time to fine tune the truck for racing.

NASCAR declined to comment to The Athletic, which said Dodge trucks raced in the Truck Series from 1995 through 2016, with three manufacturers championships and two drivers championships in that span.

Dodges also previously raced in the Cup Series and could return later this decade after a Truck Series entry, per The Athletic.
