Gene Haas comments on the Haas Factory Team
“My commitment to motorsports hasn’t changed, just the scope of my involvement,” Gene Haas said.
“Operating a four-car Cup Series team has become too arduous but, at the same time, I still need a platform to promote Haas Automation and grow HaasTooling.com.
“Maintaining my presence in Cup allows Haas Automation to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, which is important to our customers and distributors. The Xfinity Series program provides a full weekend experience for our guests, and it delivers added depth and scale to our overall operation.”
Joe Custer will be the president of Haas Factory Team.
