Sources: Kurt Busch In Talks With Ganassi About '19 Ride

Sources say NASCAR driver Kurt Busch has talked to Chip Ganassi Racing about a possible ride in ’19, a move that would likely see him bring Monster Energy along from Stewart-Haas Racing. Busch’s SHR deal is up after this year. Busch has talked to Ganassi about a ride for next year, likely the No. 1 Chevrolet driven by Jamie McMurray, whose contract is also expiring at the end of this year. Monster’s deal that it can bring with Busch is believed to be around $5M annually, so it would have to be paired with other sponsorship. Other sponsors on the No. 1 currently include McDonald’s and Cessna. It is unclear whether or with whom SHR would fill the No. 41 if Busch departs.
