Holy Moly.....
Kurt Busch is moving on from Stewart-Haas Racing at season’s end.
The former NASCAR Cup Series champion and one of his current sponsor, Monster Energy, will join Chip Ganassi Racing next season, Motorsport.com has learned.
Busch, 40, is expected to drive the No. 1 Chevrolet for CGR, replacing veteran Jamie McMurray, who is in the last year of his current contract with the team, multiple sources confirmed.
An official announcement of the move does not appear to be imminent.
As is usually the case, a spokesman with CGR said the team does not discuss its driver contract discussions in public.
Asked for a comment, a SHR spokesperson provided the following statement, "Stewart-Haas Racing does not comment on the status of its contracts, be it driver or partner related. We appreciate your understanding.”
