SHR will cease NASCAR operations at the end of the 2024 season, co-owners Tony Stewart and Gene Haas announced. This ends a significant era.
Stewart-Haas Racing's closure affects its four Cup drivers and two Xfinity teams. The decision prompts questions about the future of these drivers and staff.
Since 2009, SHR has secured 69 Cup wins and one Xfinity Series championship, cementing its place in NASCAR history with its competitive spirit.
Despite the upcoming closure, the team remains committed to employees, partners, and fans, ensuring a strong finish to the season and support beyond 2024.
The team currently fields Nos. 4, 10, 14, and 41 Fords for Josh Berry, Noah Gragson, Chase Briscoe, and Ryan Preece. Each driver embodies SHR's competitive ethos.
In the Xfinity Series, Cole Custer and Riley Herbst represent SHR. Custer's experience and Herbst's potential highlight the team's balanced driver development approach.
Founded in 2002 as Haas CNC Racing, the team transformed with Tony Stewart's arrival in 2009. Their rapid rise included wins and a strong alliance with Hendrick Motorsports.
Tony Stewart's 2011 Cup Series championship and Kevin Harvick's 2014 title are standout achievements, showcasing SHR's strategic excellence and competitive prowess.
