The Haas Factory Team announced on <date> that they will expand their presence in the 2027 NASCAR O Reilly Auto Parts Series by adding a third car. The team currently fields the No. 00 and the No. 41, driven by Sheldon Creed and Sam Mayer, respectively. The newly signed driver, Dean Thompson, will join the roster, sponsored by Thompson Pipe Group and MCM Transportation.
Haas Factory Team President Joe Custer expressed excitement about welcoming Thompson, highlighting his strong progression throughout his career in the O Reilly Auto Parts Series. Thompson, currently competing in his second full-time season with Sam Hunt Racing, has yet to win a race but boasts ten top tens and one top five in 57 starts.
He is eager to compete for wins and a championship with support from MCM Transportation and Thompson Pipe Group. This move signals a significant step up for Thompson from his previous team, Sam Hunt Racing, which secured three NASCAR O Reilly victories under Stewart-Haas Racing before the 2025 season split. The addition of Thompson to Haas Factory Team's stable, which has already demonstrated success in both NASCAR O Reilly and Cup Series, further solidifies the organization's growth through its expanding affiliate program.
