Stewart-Haas Racing, the NASCAR team co-owned by Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, will cease operations in the Cup and Xfinity Series after the 2024 season, the owners announced Tuesday.
The decision brings an end to SHR’s 16-year run in NASCAR that has produced two Cup Series championships, over 100 race wins across all three national touring series, and success in the sport’s biggest events like the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400.
“It is a decision that did not come easily, nor was it made quickly,” Stewart and Haas said in a statement. “Racing is a labor-intensive, humbling sport. It requires unwavering commitment and vast resources…we’ve reached a point in our respective personal and business lives where it’s time to pass the torch.”
