Kasey Kahne is officially coming out of retirement to return to full-time NASCAR racing in 2027. The 18-time NASCAR Cup Series winner will drive the No. 77 Chevrolet Silverado RST for Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, marking his first full-time campaign in the sport since stepping away in 2018 due to health issues.
