Tony Stewart and Gene Haas announced that Stewart-Haas Racing will end its NASCAR operations at the end of the season, with four Cup Series entries for Josh Berry, Noah Gragson, Chase Briscoe, and Ryan Preece. The Xfinity Series also sees two full-time entries with Cole Custer and Riley Herbst driving. Stewart and Haas formed the racing program in 2009 after Haas CNC Racing, which originated in late 2002. The decision to close the team after the 2024 season was a tough one, emphasizing the demanding nature of the sport and the need for vast resources. Both owners plan to explore new ventures with Haas focusing on his F1 team and Stewart involved in NHRA and other racing ventures. The team reflects on their successes, the tight-knit culture they built, and their commitment to their employees, partners, and fans as they prepare for the season’s conclusion.
