I don't think it was about him leaving either. Gene Haas was playing hardball with the sponsor.

Next time I have coffee with Lee Spencer I'll let her know you had the scoop first....

It didnt have anything to do with Gene , this was all on Monster, when Kurt's contract expired earlier this year, Monster would not commit to another year during the time of talks to resign him and made SHR wait till after the season ended or close to it before they committed, they are also doing the same to NASCAR on whether they will pick their option to extend the title sponsor rights to the Cup Series, they pushed that decision back to January.  Monster I believe has cut their races down to 9  for 2018.

The one year deal , and I quote from someone that knows more the Lee Spencer

"FWIW, the one year deal is as much for Kurt as it is for SHR."

This is from someone within the NASCAR community( job unknown, he wont tell anyone so he can give us inside info and not get in trouble), he posts on a racing forum, and is credible, he used to work for Kurt Busch,

I could quote the post that said he will back with SHR from couple of months ago if you would like
