Stewart-Haas Racing Closes After 16 Years, Marking End of an Era

The NASCAR team faces its final race amid financial struggles and leadership shifts, with drivers and fans reflecting on its legacy.

Stewart-Haas Racing, co-owned by Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, will shut down after the NASCAR season finale in Phoenix, ending a successful 16-year run.
The decision to close follows a series of challenges, including adapting to the Next Gen car, losing major sponsors, and the end of their partnership with Ford.
Tony Stewart criticized some NASCAR fans for their lack of understanding about the difficult choices leading to the team's closure.
Three of the four current drivers have secured new positions for 2025, with Chase Briscoe moving to Joe Gibbs Racing and Noah Gragson joining Front Row Motorsports.
Texas A&M University will sponsor the No. 4 car driven by Josh Berry in the team's final race, featuring a design honoring veterans.
