Haas CNC Racing team owner Gene Haas was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of tax fraud in August.

U.S. District Court Judge Christina A. Snyder issued the sentence Monday in accordance with guidelines set in the previously agreed to plea bargain in federal court in Los Angeles. Haas will begin serving his prison term Jan. 14, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
