As part of the move, Haas Factory Team will have an alliance with Hendrick Motorsports and have Hendrick-built engines in both series.
Cole Custer drives for the team in Cup. Sheldon Creed and Sam Mayer drive for the team in Xfinity. All three drivers will return to Haas Factory Team next season, the team announced Friday.
