Stewart-Haas Racing Reportedly Putting Entire Operation Up for Sale

In a surprising development, reports indicate that Stewart-Haas Racing may be putting its entire NASCAR operation and facility up for sale – not just its four coveted Cup Series charters. Details are emerging that SHR’s sprawling Kannapolis, North Carolina campus that houses both its NASCAR and Formula 1 programs could be on the market as well.

The charter market has been booming, so SHR’s four Cup charters would be in high demand.

All eyes are on how this shakes out and the future for SHR’s drivers. Continue reading Stewart-Haas Racing Reportedly Putting Entire Operation Up for Sale
