Stewart-Haas Racing will cease to exist after 2024 as confirmed by a joint statement from Gene Haas and Tony Stewart on Tuesday. Despite celebrating their second NASCAR Cup Series championship a decade ago, the organization is ending unceremoniously. Kevin Harvick’s victory in the 2014 championship, their second in four years, solidified their position as series leaders. The team comprised of Harvick, Kurt Busch, Danica Patrick, and Tony Stewart faced doubts about managing strong personalities but proved naysayers wrong.
Stewart-Haas Racing was characterized by bold decisions, such as hiring talent like Josh Berry and Noah Gragson without sponsorship, based on the belief that partners would follow. The organization’s reputation revolved around being a group of racers dedicated to conquering challenges together. In their unique way, they accumulated 69 wins and two championships in 1,892 races, along with achievements in the Xfinity Series.
Despite facing various rumors and changes in recent years, Stewart-Haas Racing is now facing complete dissolution. The future will reveal if Haas and Stewart will elaborate on the decision-making process and their experiences as co-owners. Criticized for their absence at the racetrack, both co-owners are now reflecting on the lean seasons in the Cup series.
