Dean Thompson has a new home for the 2027 NASCAR season. Last weekend, Haas Factory Team announced that Thompson will join the organization full-time for the 2027 NASCAR O'Reilly Series season. The Sam Hunt Racing driver will be one of three full-time competitors, with the organization expanding to a third car.
It is currently unclear if Sheldon Creed or Sam Mayer will return to Haas Factory Team alongside Thompson. As of mid-August, Thompson sits 18th in the point standings with his teammate, Harrison Burton, in 20th place. Thompson has run well in the No. 26 car for Sam Hunt Racing.
However, this will undoubtedly be Thompson's best opportunity in NASCAR. Haas Factory Team is capable of winning races and competing for championships. If Thompson can
hit his stride and unleash his full potential, he could become an annual winner in the O'Reilly Series.
