The news almost asks the question: What took so long? On Friday, the Haas factory team finally made not such a shocking announcement that they will move to Chevrolet starting next season.

The replacement trades blue oval for Bowtie-circles mill for rumors for weeks. Now it is officially, and with confirmation the real intrigue comes: what does the future look like for the team that is built from the remains of what it used to be a non-NASCAR power plant?

For unimpled roots Haas Factory Team Trace Back to 2002. year, when the Haas found Haas CNC races. In 2009. year was led by the Nascar Hall Lamer Toni Stewart, forming Stewart-Haas Racing. This partnership has grown into four cars Juggernaut with 69 escapes, 28 in Xfininity, two cups of cups and Xfinity Crown to start.

But starting from 2021. years, the wheels began to go. Until 2024. year, he used to collapse, and at the end of the Stewart season, and Haas was left to leave the minor operations that debated this season. That skinny go, born from Shr’s ash, will now return to Chevrolet.

“First and most importantly, we want to thank Ford for its partnership. We remain committed to the results of the FINIKA Cup,” said the team president, “said President Joe Custer.

Starting next year, Reborn Chevy team will continue from the field in the Cup series and soon – will be renamed NASCAR O’Reilly series auto parts. But maybe it’s a bigger title? This move includes a technical alliance with Hendrick Motorsports-the Gold standard for modern Nascar dominance.

“Personally, I have a deep history with Chevrolet and Hendrick Motports,” Haas said. “They both helped establish not only my presence as a team owner, but also the presence of Haas automation. Together, we have built a racing team, which is to compete for victories and championships, elevating the use of Haas CNC machines during growing and production products.”

Hendrick will supply engines in both series, the same type of arrangement that encouraged HRS increase between 2009 and 2016. years.

“We have a long history with a genome and its organization, including winning champions together, so that is really like a return home,” said Rick Hendrick, Hendrick Motorport. “Our relationship began many years ago with Haas CNC machines, and I always admired the passion for sports and their desire to combine that together we support that we support that we support that more victories.”

Next Seasons, Cole Custer will return to no. 41 In the Cup series, while Sheldon Creed and Maier will continue in no. 00 and 41 enters in the O’Reilly Auto parts series.

And until no one is in a hurry to engrave “Haas” on the trophy this season, 2026. It could be different. With Bowties on Grid and Hendrick Horsepower under the hood, these Chevrolet can only surprise the field.

Be set. The best may be just coming to the factories of Haas.
