Team owner Chip Ganassi says the departure of Reed Sorenson from his No. 41 Sprint Cup entry was simply a “business decision” made by both sides.
Ganassi issued a statement after Gillett Evernham Motorsports officials announced the signing of Sorenson to their Cup team for next season. Sorenson had driven for Chip Ganassi Racing since his debut in NASCAR in what was then known as the Busch Series in 2004.
“After much internal discussion over the last few months, we agreed that parting ways with Reed was the right decision for all of us,” Ganassi said. “The business side of sports is never easy, and this was just a business decision that was made on both our parts. We wish Reed nothing but the best.”
