Reed Sorenson is in the final year of his contract with Chip Ganassi Racing, though he could return to the No. 41 NASCAR Sprint Cup team next year.
Sorenson has been with Ganassi his entire NASCAR career, making his Busch Series debut with the team in 2004 as an 18-year-old. He moved full time to the Cup series in 2006 and has posted five top-five and 13 top-10 finishes in 92 career races.
Sorenson raced in the Nationwide Series last weekend at Gateway International Raceway and was asked what the status of his contract negotiations with Ganassi is.
“We’re working on it right now,” Sorenson said. “Working on it.”
Driver David Reutimann, who joined Sorenson at the news conference, interjected: “How’s it going?”
“Working on it,” Sorenson said with a smile
Sorenson didn’t disclose any further details. He and Juan Pablo Montoya are Ganassi’s Cup drivers after the organization shut down the No. 40 team of driver Dario Franchitti because of a lack of sponsorship.
