[autotag]Stewart-Haas Racing[/autotag] has not been up to par over the last two NASCAR Cup Series seasons, and anyone within the organization would say the same. In fact, Stewart-Haas Racing went winless in the Cup Series during 2023 but saw success in the NASCAR Xfinity Series when Cole Custer claimed the organization’s first series championship.
Recently, Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner [autotag]Tony Stewart[/autotag] went on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and was honest about the expected results heading into the new campaign. If Stewart-Haas Racing doesn’t turn it around, expect some significant changes to be on the way.
“If [Stewart-Haas Racing]’s not having the results we’re looking for, we’re going to start making some major changes,” Stewart said. “Everybody knows that. Everybody understands that. It’s those guys’ jobs at SHR to take what we have and make it better.”

“It doesn’t mean we’ve got to go out and win eight or 10 races this season, but we need to see the needle move in the right direction. We need to make progress.”
Stewart is not shy about his competitive nature, and this is a prime example. Stewart-Haas Racing has been struggling with the NextGen car, and it’s time for some improvement. With Kevin Harvick and Aric Almirola leaving the team, this is a critical year for the organization. Stewart still cares about winning, and his NASCAR team needs to figure it out.
