KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Defending Daytona 500 winner Kurt Busch confirmed on Tuesday that he has signed a contract to remain at Stewart-Haas Racing.

Confirmation came Tuesday in the form of a tweet, where the driver of the No. 41 Ford said he is excited to return to the team for his fifth-straight season in 2018.

“Knowing that SHR is committed to optimum performance, I believe that I have everything I need to win races this season and take home the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup,” Busch said. “I look forward to taking on next year with my team, sponsors and determination.”

Busch, the 2004 series champion, had effectively been a free agent since August after Stewart-Haas Racing chose not to pick up his contract option for next year. The two have been in contract talks ever since, with both sides finally reaching an agreement on Tuesday.

The No. 41 Ford will continue to be sponsored by Monster Energy, which also serves as the title sponsor of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Busch has five victories since joining Stewart-Haas Racing and has made the playoffs for the last four years.
