NASCAR legends Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick could make a return to the track at the same event next year.

The pair have long since retired from full-time racing in NASCAR, but earlier this season, Stewart made a surprise return in the Truck Series race at Daytona as part of Ram's free agent program.

Unfortunately, Stewart's outing was short-lived, ending after he got caught up in a wreck through no fault of his own on lap 36.

Ahead of Daytona, Stewart had hinted that he was potentially considering doing it more than once, though, and that appears as though the three-time Cup Series champion could run in NASCAR once again in 2027, this time alongside his former driver.

Stewart and Harvick set for NASCAR race together

Speaking with Kevin Harvick, who drove for Stewart-Haas Racing for 10 seasons, on his Happy Hour show, when Stewart revealed that he's likely to race again, in response, Harvick had an offer that will get NASCAR fans very excited.

“I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do it again,” Steward told Harvick.

“Well, let's do the same one,” Harvick replied. “Go to the same place where we got a 70 percent chance of getting knocked down?” Stewart quipped back. “No,” Harvick said. "I'm saying, let's do the same race, us both run the same race.”

“Hell, I’m in,” Stewart responded, with Harvick quickly clarifying, “I’m not going to Daytona, though.”

Of course, official confirmation of this happening is yet to be confirmed, but it seems the intent is there from both of them to compete in the same race at some stage in 2027.

They also didn't specify which series they would be racing in if they do go ahead and do it, although the Truck Series seems the most likely option given Stewart's run for Ram earlier this year.
