Stewart-Haas Racing has announced that it will cease operations at the end of the 2024 season. This team, founded in 2009 by Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, has been a staple in NASCAR, achieving multiple championships and victories over the years.
Statement from Tony Stewart and Gene Haas
"We have made the difficult decision to close Stewart-Haas Racing at the conclusion of the 2024 season. This decision was not easy nor quick. Racing is a sport that requires unwavering commitment and vast resources, with a 365-day mindset to be better than everyone else. It's part of what makes success so rewarding. But the commitment needed to extract maximum performance while providing sustainability is incredibly demanding, and we have reached a point in our personal and business lives where it is time to pass the torch. We are proud of all the wins and championships we have earned since we joined together in 2009, but even more special is the culture we built and the friendships we forged as we committed to a common cause: winning races and collecting trophies. This is the same commitment we made to our personnel, our partners, and our fans coming into this year, and that commitment will remain through the season finale in Phoenix. We have tremendous respect and appreciation for all of our employees, and we will work diligently to assist them during this transition to find new opportunities beyond the 2024 race season."
