Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Danica Patrick and Kurt Busch will swap teams and crew chiefs beginning with the Nov. 2 Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. An official announcement of the change could come as early as Wednesday, sources said.
SHR officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. On Saturday, Tony Gibson, who has served as the only crew chief Patrick has had as a fulltime Cup series driver, signed a contract extension with SHR but the organization would not specify what his role was to be in the future.
Beginning at Texas, crew chief Daniel Knost and the members of Busch’s current #41 team will move over to Patrick’s #10. Gibson, along with the members of Patrick’s current #10 team, will move to Busch’s #41 team.
