“This isn’t really about saying goodbye. It’s about getting one more opportunity to celebrate everything that got me here — the people I’ve raced with, the friends I’ve made, the sponsors that became part of my identity and everybody who supported me along the way. I want this last full-time season to feel like it comes from the heart and honors the whole story.”Hailey Bell
How We Got Here
Where the Full-Time Story Began
Bell’s first full-time NSS campaign featured Toys “R” Us, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and Apex Sim Racing — three partners that will return for FULL HEART.
The Identity Built Along the Way
PetSmart, Mobil 1, Rheem, Home Depot, Ghost Energy and Ironmouse represent the modern chapter of Bell’s racing identity heading into 2027.
One More Full-Time Season
Past and present meet through special paint schemes, returning partners, throwbacks and tributes while Bell continues to race for wins and championships.
A Career Told Through Paint
Selected events become individual chapters built around sponsors, seasons, memories, milestones, teammates, friends and defining moments from Bell’s career.
Full-Time Ends, Racing Does Not Have To
The end of the 2027 season closes Bell’s weekly full-season commitments, while one-off appearances, special events and part-time starts remain possible.
Full Heart
Rather than treating 2027 simply as a farewell, Bell wants the season to connect where her full-time career began with where it will ultimately end.
The name FULL HEART represents the passion, gratitude and emotion Bell wants the 2027 season to carry. Past and present will meet throughout the year through special paint schemes, returning partners, throwbacks and tributes to important moments throughout her career.
Current partners including PetSmart, Mobil 1, Rheem, Home Depot, Ghost Energy and Ironmouse will help represent Bell’s modern racing identity. But FULL HEART will also reach all the way back to the beginning of her full-time career.
Where It Began
Bell’s first full-time NSS campaign came in Season 3.
Three partners associated with that first full-time season will return in 2027: Toys “R” Us, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and Apex Sim Racing.
Their return creates one of the central themes of FULL HEART. The same brands that were part of Bell’s first season as a full-time competitor will return during her final one.
Each will receive special appearances during 2027 celebrating Bell’s early racing years and the journey from her first full-time season to her last. The returning partnerships are intended to feel authentic to their original eras, with paint schemes and promotional material drawing inspiration from the cars and visual identity associated with Bell’s Season 3 campaign.
From the first full-time season to the final one — with gratitude for every step in between. That is FULL HEART.
More Than a Farewell
Bell’s decision applies specifically to full-time competition. After the conclusion of the 2027 season, Bell will step back from full-time competition and end her weekly, full-season racing commitments, but it does not necessarily mean the final race of her career.
Future one-off appearances, special events or part-time starts remain possible. For Bell, that distinction is important.
Racing has been too significant a part of her story for the final full-time season to be framed entirely around an ending. FULL HEART is instead intended as a celebration of everything that came before while leaving the door open for whatever may come afterward.
“I still want 2027 to be about racing,” Bell said. “I don’t want every weekend to feel like everybody is waiting for the last lap. I still want to win races. I still want to fight for championships. I still want to have fun with my friends. We’re just going to celebrate a lot of memories while we do it.”
One More Shot
The FULL HEART Tour will not be a ceremonial season. Bell intends to approach 2027 with the same competitive goals as any other year.
Every race still counts. Every win still matters. And if a championship opportunity presents itself, Bell intends to chase it.
What changes is everything surrounding those races. Throughout the season, selected events will feature commemorative paint schemes, returning sponsors, historical references and tributes highlighting different chapters of Bell’s racing career.
Some cars will recreate familiar ideas from the past. Others will reinterpret those designs through Bell’s current identity. Several will bring pieces of multiple eras together on one car.
A Career Told Through Paint
Paint schemes have always been one of the most recognizable parts of Bell’s racing identity, making them a major component of FULL HEART.
PetSmart will remain one of the defining brands of Bell’s modern era. Mobil 1, Rheem, Home Depot, Ghost Energy and Ironmouse will also play roles throughout the final full-time campaign.
Then come the cars representing where the journey began. Toys “R” Us, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and Apex Sim Racing will each return as direct callbacks to Bell’s first full-time NSS season.
Those appearances will not simply place old logos on modern cars. Each design will be treated as another chapter in the FULL HEART story.
Throughout 2027, additional cars may celebrate important races, previous designs, career milestones, teammates, friends and memorable moments from Bell’s history. Together, the cars will tell the story of her career one race at a time.
Every Chapter
Special FULL HEART schemes throughout 2027 will be presented as individual chapters of Bell’s career. Each chapter may highlight a different sponsor, season, memory, milestone or era.
FULL HEART // CHAPTER 01 — a look back at an early career moment.
FULL HEART // CHAPTER 02 — a returning partner or historic paint scheme.
FULL HEART // CHAPTER 03 — a championship, memorable race or important career milestone.
The chapter system will continue throughout the season, eventually building a visual timeline of Bell’s full-time career. By the end of 2027, the complete FULL HEART collection will serve as a permanent record of the journey.
Thank You for the Ride
While FULL HEART tells Bell’s story, the season is equally intended as a thank-you to everyone who became part of it — teammates, competitors, friends, league organizers, designers, partners, fans and everyone who spent a race night in voice chat, watched a finish unfold, worked on a car, celebrated a win or simply stayed along for the ride.
Those relationships are ultimately what Bell wants remembered most.
“Trophies and wins are awesome, but when I think about racing, I think about the people,” Bell said. “Some of my favorite memories aren’t even things that would show up on a stat sheet. They’re the nights we were all together having fun. That’s what made all of this worth doing.”
From Season 3 to 2027
Years before FULL HEART, Bell entered her first full-time NSS season in Season 3.
Toys “R” Us was there. Cheddar’s was there. Apex Sim Racing was there.
In 2027, they will be there again.
Different cars. Different years. A different Hailey. But part of the same story.
That connection between Bell’s first and final full-time campaigns is what gives the tour its heart. It is a season built around gratitude, passion and the people who shaped Bell’s career. Full heart.
The Final Full-Time Lap
There will eventually be a final starting grid. A final full-time green flag. A final championship chase.
And somewhere during the closing race of 2027, Bell will begin the final lap of her career as a full-time competitor.
Until then, there is another season to run. More races to win. More memories to make. And a few old friends coming back along the way.
Hailey Bell’s FULL HEART Tour begins in 2027.
