What Happened To Stewart-Haas Racing?

Remember when Stuart Haas Racing won over a quarter of their races in 2020, they were considered one of NASCAR's Elite organizations in 2023 and it's pretty clear that shr is in decline, they went from competing for championships to having just one of their four teams. inside the top 10 in points, while the other three are not even inside the top 20. What

happened

to Stuart Haas' races? Can it be fixed or is this team destined to be in the slums for a long time in 2008? Tony Stewart announced that he would be leaving Joe Gibbs Racing and becoming part owner of the organization formerly known as Haas CNC Racing.

They wasted no time in their inaugural season proving they could compete with NASCAR's elite teams. Tony Stewart won a total of five races which included the season's All-Star Race and finished sixth in points, while Ryan Newman in the 39th shr did not win, he still finished ninth in points, meaning both teams made it to the Chase that season in its inaugural season, the first version of Stewart's house

a ride,

what

a ride, yes, special! special moment, yeah, great job putting it in this position, coming to The Checkered Flag right here, man, thanks, thanks again.

Ryan Newman wins the Brickyard. They won a combined 19 races in their first five seasons and were chased by at least one of their cars each time. The year 2014 would mark the beginning of a new era. Kevin Harvick was poached for dealer Childress Racing replacing Ryan Newman in the newly numbered 14. Let's not forget that Danica Patrick was entering her second full-time season with the team, so even though On Track performance didn't was there, at least you had some additional financing and eventually Kurt Busch joined the newly formed 41 team, which was a surprise to Tony Stewart, since this project was directed by Gene Haas despite all these changes they were having place.

The addition of Kevin Harvick was obviously the most important move, not only setting the team up for success in 2014, but for many years to come. Yes, he will, he will win the race and the Nascar Sprint Cup Championship. Kevin Harvick of California does it 2014-2020. What I consider the Golden Era of the team: they want a total of 46 races over the seven seasons, while changing manufacturers and drivers along the way. Kevin Harvick was clearly the best driver during this era and is not even close to winning 35 of the 46 races. Of course, we can't forget their 2014 Cup championship, but let's also not forget their impressive run of four championships during the span they competed for the championship and five of those seven seasons, apparently, after they made the move from Chevy to Ford before.

The 2017 season, Kevin Harvick and the team of four took it to another level winning 21 races in three seasons from 2018 to 2020. With over 20 wins in a three-year span, interestingly, there were no championships, the strangest of all took place during the 2020 season when they won nine races but failed to reach championship four, can Harvick do it? The last turn needs the position. Oh, Harvick spins the 18. He turns the 18. He spins too. The 18th crosses the finish line and Harvick. he's going to be out of the playoffs. I tried to run towards the gate of 18 like a bolt, I just left the effort there and spun it, sorry to put it in the middle of trying to win a point, but you know, look, these are Aren't these championships not How to win them like Petty and Earnhardt used to win them?

You have to put them together three weeks at a time and you know it all comes down to a race and it came down to a race for us tonight. and we fell short, we didn't know that after this ending and the 2020 season would usher in the worst era in clan

racing

history of the 11 races Kevin Harvick didn't win from 2014 to 2020, they were won by Kurt Busch Clint Boyer. Eric Amarola and Cole Custer eventually Kevin Harvick was only going to be able to do so much and from 22 21 we saw that while he finished fifth and scored points, he failed to win a race while the rest of the team seemed to disintegrate around him Eric Amarola won a race but had the worst season of his entire Cup Series career Chase Briscoe and Cole Custer were going through the typical rookie-sophomore slums.

The assumption among the Nascar fan base was that Stewart Hoss' racing was clearly stinking and grooming. For the next generation that was going to debut in 2022, putting all their eggs in that basket at the beginning, that theory seemed true. Chase Briscoe won the first Cup Series race early. He qualified for the playoffs that season, but it wasn't the typical Storehouse races we were used to seeing compete for wins week after week, Kevin Harvick finally won two races later that season, while Eric Almarola and Cole Custer continued to struggle. Now we get to 2023 and not much has changed.

Kevin Harvick currently sits in fourth place in points. the other three Storthouse race cars are all outside the top 20. Kevin Harvick has already announced that he will retire after the 2023 season, leaving many fans feeling that Storehouse Racing is in for a difficult rebuild. Ryan Priest is already in his and Chase Briscoe's first season. Being only in their third, it's safe to say they'll be there for a while with Kevin Harvick retiring after the season. I'm sure Eric Amarolo won't be far behind, whether it's in 2023 or even 2024. I don't know, it's been a while since Stewart Haas Racing signed an elite driver, but it's not like they haven't tried in 2020.

Ford He told them no to signing Kyle Larson and in 2022 they came up short on the services of Kyle Busch. Not only do we have to question the driver lineups, but to some extent the owners, some fans have gone so far as to question whether this team will still exist in five years, even going so far as to question the interests of the owners and even remaining in the sport as far as possible. As far as that goes, we'll see what develops over time, but in conclusion, what

happened

to Stewart Haas racing? They won 65 races from 2009 to 2020 and have only won four races since then, the main problem for me was trust. too much on a generational talent like Kevin Harvick and also not ensuring a better driver lineup over the years doesn't help losing generational talents Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch would definitely hurt any team, while some have questioned the interests of Gene Haas and Tony Stewart.

There is no doubt that the team, without a doubt, has all the talent and resources behind them. The future of Stewart Haas Racing's success depends primarily on who will be in its driver lineup. Let me know in the comments what you think happened to Stewart Haas racing. The driver line-up will be seen in the future and whether they think they will be able to return to the Glory Days or that they will be destined to remain a midfield team and once again that will be enough for another video, thank you all so much for watching. This is black flag business, I'll catch you next time.
