Haas Factory Team announced Friday that Cole Custer will return for a third straight season as driver of the No. 41 entry in the NASCAR Cup Series next year.
Custer has long been connected to team owner Gene Haas, first through Haas’ partnership with Tony Stewart under the Stewart-Haas Racing banner and later with Haas Factory Team, which rebranded after Stewart’s ownership departure ahead of the 2025 season. That reorganization established HFT as a single-car effort in the Cup Series, and Custer has been its driver ever since.
