KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (May 28, 2024) โ The following is a joint statement from Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, the co-owners of Stewart-Haas Racing, regarding the future of their NASCAR team following the 2024 season.
โWe have made the difficult decision to close Stewart-Haas Racing at the conclusion of the 2024 season. It is a decision that did not come easily, nor was it made quickly.”
โRacing is a labor-intensive, humbling sport. It requires unwavering commitment and vast resources, with a 365-day mindset to be better than everyone else. Itโs part of what makes success so rewarding.”
โBut the commitment needed to extract maximum performance while providing sustainability is incredibly demanding, and weโve reached a point in our respective personal and business lives where itโs time to pass the torch.”
โWeโre proud of all the wins and championships weโve earned since joining together in 2009, but even more special is the culture we built and the friendships we forged as we committed to a common cause โ winning races and collecting trophies.”
โThat 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 at Phoenix.”
โWe 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.โ
