Sorenson a free agent

Reed Sorenson

Reed Sorenson is in the final season of his Sprint Cup Series contract, but he's not too worried about discussing his future yet. Instead, Sorenson is working on improving his performance in races. Sorenson and his team got off to a slow start to this season, resulting in a crew chief swap with teammate Juan Pablo Montoya in which Jimmy Elledge left Sorenson to partner with Montoya and Sorenson gained Donnie Wingo. Elledge has since left the organization. Sorenson said that he's not focused on his contract talks right now, preferring instead to let his racing speak for itself. "It is a contract year for me," the 22-year-old said. "Trying to do the best I can right now to try to see what we can do the next couple of months to try to get some good finishes." Asked whether he was in talks or not, Sorenson said that he and team owner Chip Ganassi had discussed it "a little bit." As to whether or not he's in discussions with other teams as well, Sorenson simply reiterated that he's focused on his own group's performance right now. If he can get that heading in the right direction, the rest will take care of itself. SceneDaily
