Stewart–Haas Racing
American professional stock car racing team / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stewart–Haas Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The team is co-owned by three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart and Haas Automation founder Gene Haas. It was founded in 2002 as Haas CNC Racing after Haas, whose company was a sponsor of Hendrick Motorsports, elected to form his own team. In 2009, Stewart, who had been driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, made a deal with Haas to drive for the team and in return receive a 50% stake in it. The team is set to close at the conclusion of the 2024 season.

The team is based and headquartered in Kannapolis, North Carolina – roughly 10 miles (16 km) north of Charlotte Motor Speedway – alongside sister team and Formula One entrant Haas F1 Team, but the two teams are treated as separate bodies for legal reasons.
In the NASCAR Cup Series, Stewart–Haas Racing currently fields four Ford Mustang Dark Horse teams: the No. 4 for Josh Berry, the No. 10 for Noah Gragson, the No. 14 for Chase Briscoe, and the No. 41 for Ryan Preece. In the Xfinity Series, the team currently fields two full-time Ford Mustang teams: the No. 00 for Cole Custer, and the No. 98 for Riley Herbst.
From its inception until 2016, the team ran with Chevrolet engines and chassis (except for 2003 when they ran with Pontiac) provided by Hendrick Motorsports. Beginning in 2017 the team began partnering with Roush-Yates Engines and switched to Ford engines, while building their chassis in-house.[1][2]
The team has won in each of the three national touring divisions, joining Hendrick Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing, and RFK Racing as the only teams to accomplish that feat.
On May 28, 2024, it was announced that the team would shut down at the end of the 2024 season.[3] On June 20, Gene Haas announced he will keep one of the team's four charters and restructure the team as Haas Factory Team in 2025.[4]
