John Hunter Nemechek Confirms RFK Talks, Explains Choosing Haas

John Hunter Nemechek confirmed he talked with RFK Racing about its No. 60 but chose Haas Factory Team's O'Reilly Series program because he wants to win.

John Hunter Nemechek has confirmed he had talks with RFK Racing about a potential 2027 NASCAR Cup ride, but ultimately decided to join Haas Factory Team. The 11-time winner in the O'Reilly series explained that he wanted a team where he could contend every week and win races. Nemechek will drive the No. 41 Chevrolet full time in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series for Haas.

The RFK team, formerly led by Brad Keselowski, has since addressed one of their open questions by moving Ryan Preece to the No. 6 car, which Keselowski currently drives. RFK is reportedly considering a driver rotation for the No. 60, which currently has no charter.
