Here's a look at the 41 car's new look, courtesy of NASCAR:

Busch joined Stewart-Haas in August 2013, with the deal going into effect with the start of the 2014 season. Before that, the 2004 points champion had short spells with Furniture Row Racing and Phoenix Racing after six years with what is now Team Penske.

In his first year at SHR, Busch finished 12th in the points standings. With one more race left in the Contender Round, Busch sits in third place in the Chase, 13 points ahead of the cutoff line for the Eliminator Round.
