Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner Gene Haas said his team isn't rushing to fill the seat that is expected to be vacated by Kurt Busch. He ruled out rushing Xfinity driver Cole Custer into Cup but left the door open for many other drivers. He wouldn't talk about any specific drivers -- including when asked about JGR's Daniel Suarez -- but indicated the situation is fluid. Haas: "We're kind of keeping the seat available to see what [develops]. There's things going on in the background where things are happening that we don't know about -- maybe driver-sponsor combinations that didn't exist a few weeks ago, something like that might become attractive to us."
