TALLADEGA, Ala.Joe Gibbs Racing President J.D. Gibbs said in a statement released Thursday that he hopes driver Tony Stewart finishes his NASCAR career with the team.
 
Online reports indicated Stewart was negotiating with Haas CNC Racing to join that Chevrolet team for 2009, even as Stewart has that year remaining on his contract with JGR.
 
But Gibbs said he hoped Stewart would remain with his team.
 
“There has been much speculation regarding the future of our driver, Tony Stewart,” Gibbs said. “Tony is currently here through 2009, and from a Joe Gibbs Racing standpoint, we hope he drives for us longer than that and retires here.
 
“Tony is a great partner and a huge asset to Joe Gibbs Racing. Right now we are focused on winning races and winning the next two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championships under his current contract.”
 
Stewart has already won two Cup championships with JGR.
