Chip Ganassi Racing announced Monday that former NASCAR Cup Series champion Matt Kenseth will move to the No. 42 Chevrolet once the 2020 season resumes.
Kenseth has not driven in NASCAR’s top series since 2018, when he returned for a 15-race replacement stint in Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 6 Ford. The Sports Business Journal and the Associated Press were among the first outlets to confirm the news.

“I think Matt gives us the best chance to win, run up front and compete for wins,” Ganassi told The Associated Press. “I’ve always gone with the mantra of trying to take the best driver available, and he’s the best driver available right now. And he brings something to our sponsors that they need right now. Stability. No baggage. Family man. Daytona 500 winner. Championship winner.”

The move comes after Chip Ganassi Racing ended its relationship with Kyle Larson following Larson’s use of a racial slur on a live stream during an iRacing event April 12. Larson, who had been under contract with the team since 2013, is indefinitely suspended from NASCAR, and reinstatement will only be evaluated after completion of mandatory sensitivity training.

Kenseth, a Wisconsin native, has 39 Cup Series wins that include two Daytona 500 triumphs (2009, 2012). He won the series championship in 2003, the last year before a playoff format was instituted.
