US EditionHaas Factory Team Could Find New Life With Chevy And Hendrick Alliance
Haas Factory Team will leverage Hendrick Motorsports' engines and technical alliance to enhance competitiveness while retaining all current drivers for the 2026 NASCAR season.
- Haas Factory Team announced it will leave Ford and join Chevrolet beginning in the 2026 season, entering a technical alliance with Hendrick Motorsports for engines.
- Haas's history shows Gene Haas founded Haas CNC Racing with Chevrolet in 2002 and partnered with Tony Stewart's Stewart-Haas Racing, which campaigned Chevrolets until 2016.
- Haas announced it will keep Cole Custer in Cup and Sheldon Creed and Sam Mayer in Xfinity, with Chevrolet re-debuting at the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium on February 1 and the Daytona season opener on February 14.
- Manufacturer representation will shift as the move reduces Ford’s presence by at least one Cup entry and two Xfinity entries, and observers say Chevrolets could make Haas more competitive in 2026.
- The announcement came on Friday, a day after Ford Performance rebranded to Ford Racing, following Stewart-Haas Racing's shutdown and Haas rebranding into a single-charter operation.
