it’s wild how just one practice session from HMS allowed harvick to say how dysfunctional SHR is… 💀😭

SHR is falling apart at such a fast rate Yet their cars are… Better?

I know Kevin and Tony are friends but Kevin tells it like it is. As a Kevin Harvick fan it is sad to see SHR fall like they have in just a few years. But let’s be honest from 2014-2020 it was Harvick and the 4 team doing the bulk of the work. That 4 team was a powerhouse not SHR as a whole.

It makes me wonder if Harvick would have continued for another year or two if he was driving for Hendrick.

The 1-2 combo of Ford saying NO to Stewart getting Kyle Larson into their car and then him following it up with a Championship at Hendrick was the moment Stewart disconnected. That timed with Gene's focus to F1, its been downhill from there.

My question is when Ford wouldnt let SHR hire Kyle Larson was that the straw that broke the camels back and then that’s when they truly started to fall apart that’s what happened and it pissed Tony off and he washed his hands of it all after SHRs contract expires with Ford

For crying out loud Dale Jr just buy out Tony's portion of Stewart-Haas

Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart are the only 2 cup drivers to really be successful at SHR

It all started when Ford wouldn't let Tony hire Larson and he went to HMS.

Mark Martin described HMS as like working at NASA as compared to working at Roush Racing 😊

The Goodyear tire failure this weekend was really weird. At first, before the cars touched the track, no one thought the tires would last past 30 laps, then after practice their supposed life span increased to 50 laps, at the start of the heat race the next day the booth said 75 laps, then by the end of the day they didn't wear at all within 100 laps. It really baffles me how Goodyear was so far off the mark and brought a tire that they thought wouldn't last 30 laps, but ended up lasting the entire stage. Sure, the teams adapted and I bet laying down so much rubber, smoothing out the standpaper like repave didn't help, but for Goodyear to be that far off their estimations tells me whatever aimulator or data they are basing their calculatiojs off of needs to be re-calibrated because they missed the mark ENTIRELY last weekend.

Tony just lost all interest in NASCAR when a manufacturer dictated he couldn’t hire a driver he wanted.

Imagine how many more wins Harvick could have had if he went to Hendricks or Gibbs. Smh. More championships too

Indy, Charlotte, & Monaco!!! What a weekend of racing.

As an f1 fan I was quite disappointed that the tires options weren't any good 😔

They need to do the tire tests at night to get the best read on the tires.

Short tracks & road course they need to make the wheel& Tire more narrow. Maybe 2-3 inches more narrow

Tony checked out the minute he got involved with drag racing

The Irony of Tony making the "Deadbeat Team Owner" coment years ago on T.V. about DEI.

Off topic, but in a way, I wish Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was able to continue in the All Star race, and 2015 Matt Kenseth to Joey Logano Kyle Busch. I really wish. That would've been sweet revenge.

They need to start testing in similar conditions that would be during the race. For example the NWB tire test was run during the day. But the all star race was run in the evening. Track temps were cooler and that was what caused the zero fall off with the option tire.

The biggest question is who takes over Ford’s Xfinity series program if SHR is done or switches manufacturers? Remember they provide technical assistance and support to Fords Xfinity series teams.

Was hoping to meet you at N. Wilkesboro this past weekend.... Brother

If SHR does have a firesale and ceases to exist, I can’t help but think and go back to the times David Land’s predicitons of Stewart having a foot out the door a year and a half ago. 😳

I remember 2 or 3 years ago in "playoffs" race, a SHR car caught a penalty for laying off to let a teammate pass. Tony was fired up in the post-race interview and said he was done with NASCAR and how that was gonna free up his weekends or something to that effect. Looks like he probably meant it for real.

Weird to say but was a huge Aric Almiorla fan, grew up in my hometown. The peak of SHR was Harvick, Busch, Almiorla and Bowyer and its been tragic to see the down fall but it was there own undoing (Stewart and Haas)

well hell, i just watched that episode, i thought it was todays & this was a second one.i consider this a bonus OOTG.

When I read Kevin’s comments, I was like “damm….”

Nailed it!

Tony is focused on NHRA and building a family.

Sorry its gonna take more than tires for racing to improve at short tracks and road courses

F1: Lando finished 7 tenths behind Max!! So close! NASCAR: hold my beer

I would put Chastain at 10. With a top 7 finish. Bowman is Hendrick driver and didn't even make the all star race. Can’t be in my top 10 for that reason alone lol other than that hard to argue your top 10

I think Harvick's comments to me sound like Gene is more focused on and cares more about F1 than Nascar and Stewart is the same but with NHRA drag racing. So I am starting to think, unless either owner says otherwise, that those rumors of SHR going completely defunct/bought out seem more likely now.

I do think that SHR will sell two charters. Maybe two teams get one of each. 23/11 and RFK possibly. It will be interesting to see. Obviously the fall off beneath the surface is just as visible as above the surface.

SHR just needs to close. Sell the charters to a team who’s trying to win. There’s no heart anymore. Something happened in the latter half of 2020 and it hasn’t recovered. I’d be pissed if I were Harvick. He could have won more races or a championship.

Hey eric did u hear about Kyle Busch returning to Xfinity this weekend at Charlotte driving RCR #33

lol yeah there was multiple lanes of but still no passing, idk if that’s your constellation prize at the end of the day Eric , just up the horsepower that 4th manufacturer ain’t coming anyways

I hope that SHR surprises us all and they restructure and go back to being a powerhouse organization, It would be a shame to see them go! I think these tires are perfect for cars with 800+ H.P. I hope they run a higher HP test this year, They have tried everything but that!

I have mixed feelings about the Stewart-Haas thing. I liked Tony Stewart as a driver, and I liked the idea of another team with the speed to be competitive on a weekly basis. But, there's no denying that they've fallen off, at least in the Cup series, and it's like everyone just sort of forgot how to win races. I'd rather see them call it quits than devolve further.

The Tony Stewart deal started with Nascar chosing Bristol over Eldora for a dirt race

Happy Birthday Tony Stewart! 🎂

I think the race last night showed how inept the short track package really is.

Bristol only happened because the teams couldn't plan for it. Shoot even that race they managed to get about 20 more laps out of those tires by the end of that race just with inrace adjustments.

I mean you got Tony doing NHRA and SRX, I still think he’s pissed with FORD about Larson but I mean what sense would it make to get Gragson to then just give that all up

SHR reminds me of Roush of the 2000s. Where they're consistent playoff/championship contenders and at one point the entire team is in the playoffs. Then the eventual downfall happens and maybe unlike Roush, SHR probably be gone/bought out within the following years.

I mean we r talking about a repave so tires aren’t gonna wear as bad no matter how bad the tires wear. I think if NASCAR were to run this tire setup at Richmond we’ll see more of a difference in tire degradation. Aero clearly wasn’t the issue since the diffuser and spoiler r basically non existent, I’m kinda wondering if something that could help is maybe taking weight out the cars. Ya might have some slight better racing since drivers aren’t having to completely slow down a semi truck all the time in the corners with how much better braking capability these cars have and honestly it MIGHT help with the weird G forces drivers r facing. Especially as something simple as going over a fast curb at Watkins Glen. I mean hell a Late Model and Super Late Model weight like 2900-2700ibs, same with the cars from NASCAR Canadian Series and Euro Series, and the Canadian Series is usually really good at short tracks and road courses/street courses equally. Meanwhile NASCAR still has their cars from ARCA, ARCA East and West, Trucks, Xfinity, and Cup all still rock 3400ibs. Maybe time shed some weight off it.

Sad to see SHR crumble. I like the idea Goodyear will get more aggressive, but bottom line if tires start to blister and fall apart, that’s not a good look for the brand if people don’t understand why the issues are happening. If Goodyear tires are blistering every race, uninformed fans will look at that as a Goodyear quality issue. But yes, tire falloff is key. And option tires at most tracks seem like a great idea.

Crazy that Goodyear didn’t understand their own tire test results that the 22 did. They talked in the broadcast about the 22 running 63 laps during the practice. How did Goodyear not know this was going to happen?

Tony Stewart is NHRH for sure. Think passing on Larson hurt it

SHR will sell 2 of the 4 charters. 1 to RFK the other to any other rumor teams. 23XI is most likely. The organization and other 2 charters with their drivers and pit crews will go to Front Row

Should have diven by the airport today and check the tail numbers on the gulf streams and aee if NASCAR was back in town again. The tires drive all night from NC should have gotten back this morning to Kelley Ave.

Did I see that Hendrick crews had to take care of SHR cars during the rain because SHR wasn’t at the track?

It would’ve been great to put Ricky Stenhouse Jr as number 1 on power ranking

6:12 And that's why you test them in various temperatures first. What they could and should have done was bring the regular prime tire to this race and an optional one that was extremely overly aggressive and if it happened to be junk and only last 10 laps then they could have all went back to the prime no harm no foul. But of course that would be too easy so instead we're going the nascar/goodyear route.

I've been saying it for a year or so now. I think SHR closes up.

How many effin tire tests do they need? They’re blowing smoke up our a..

If that’s how it is at shr looks like there not doin well my guess is he is into drag racing then nascar

Remember Ultra Motorsports? Won the 2005 truck series title with Ted Musgrave; closed at the end of that season.

Didn’t Mahadran tractors sign to be a full sponsor of the 14 until 2027? That’s gonna be interesting if the team shuts down lol

List looked pretty good to me

Tony Stewart is disillusioned with NASCAR. You think about him losing Kyle Larson, NASCAR taking Eldora off the schedule, creating the SRX series, and the number of times that their cars have been fined/penalized. The last few years have showed that Stewart simply doesn't care about the sport. His enjoyment in the NHRA proves that

What are the chances of this happening, low. But would it make sense and would fans love it, yes. Tony sells his share of SHR and gets out. Gene Haas stays on but more of a figurehead, name, and sponsor. They sell 2 charters and Dale Jr buys Tony's share. The team switches back to Chevy and keeps Noah and Josh as their drivers. Would make sense for Dale to buy in especially with the fact of 2 of his former drivers are there. The team becomes EHR (Earnhardt-Haas Racing) with Dale Jr ane Joe Custer being the main people running the team.

Tony put is foot down to give preece the 41 and all along he don't even have a dog in the fight

having absentee owners is never a good business model

honestly this season Goodyears gained a bit of respect from me. We've seen them making the effort on their end to improve the racing, and I honestly believe they're doing way more behind the scenes that we don't quite know about yet. If they keep going the way they are, I wouldn't be surprised if by this time next year we're actually championing Goodyear over hating on them like normal

I will say I don't know whats going to happen to SHR I'm just hoping that all drivers will be ok no matter how it goes. And as far as the tires I noticed how Larson pitted at the lap 150 caution and he had fresher red tires than Joey and Denny who stayed out and Larson could only get up to 3rd and just stalled out so the tires are most definitely a problem because it basically did the same thing as the primary tire if you don't take advantage of the fresh tire's against those on older tires you will stall out even though you have way fresher tires than everyone. What we need is the tires from the gen 6 car and what the trucks and Xfinity are still using if you pit while everyone stays out your fresh tires will be faster until those who hasn't pitted and then they will be faster than you until you put for your fresher tires

I hate tire tests! Ty Gibbs and Joey Lagano did the tire tests at North Wilkesboro and they led all the laps during the open and all-star race! Unfair advantage

Tony sells his half to JRM and they switch to Chevy with Hendrick support. This sounds like the best play and Gene is happy to be winning again.

Tony steward is a co owner of 4 nascar cup teams and seeing him at the track is like seeing the pope. Rare appearances . NHRA is his focus. Meanwhile his nascar teams are running 30th

I hope someone buys tony's half of the team if not the whole team

To ceased operation and those charters will go split with track house and front row

stewart haas racings implosion sadly reminds me of the implosion of dei back in the day. a lot of dysfunction and no real leadership from the top. the people trying to keep the ship afloat are the people who have no financial responsibility and are just hoping that their jobs are safe for another season.

Let’s face it, Gene Haas racing was the RWR of the time before Smoke came around. Since then, cup trophies both as a driver and owner which hasn’t been done since Kulwicki did it, is impressive. With Covid came drastic changes to our sport as well as Tony’s life. I would like to think for the better in Tony’s case. He’s moving on to the next chapter of his life, God bless him. I have become a bigger NHRA fan because of Tony. The Generational change from Ganassi to Trackhouse, was good for our sport. This is just another one of those changes. Ideally, Jr should be the new blood in cup and pull a Justin Marks move. Whatever happens, I think it will be good for the sport.

Hard to believe Logano drove all those laps on reds.

Being a die hard Tony Stewart fan and a moderate fan for Harvick, it pains me that Harvick says that about Tony. They’re friends, they’ve both drove for each other teams, they’ve had disagreements, but they’ve always made up. This one is kinda hard for me swallow. Tony will always be my guy. He was my favorite driver for as long as I can remember. My favorite color is orange. Is that because Tony drove an orange car for the first part of his career? Possibly. But, it seems Tony has been distant from NASCAR ever since he got married. Just like when your buddy finds a girl and spends all his time with her, you never hear from him. Harvick is just calling it like he sees it. And that’s what I love about Harvick. Tony and Kevin both always spoke their minds. And that’s why I love, someone who doesn’t mince words and lets it all hang out. Can they come off as an asshole? Yes, but you know where they stand and they leave no room for interpretation. They’re crystal clear. I can see why Tony wants to drag race. He did the same thing when he went to Nascar. He left IRL in the dust to chase glory in Nascar. Now he’s doing that in the NHRA? And can you blame him? His wife had success in NHRA, and he wants to as well. He only has to be good for a few seconds. He’s not the racer he used to be, but we all get old and lose our edge, no matter what it’s about. Hobbies change when you date/get married sometimes. At least it’s in racing. At least he’s not going to be a fashion designer or something. Lol

Right now I think Hass sells everything maybe to a new team or to a current team. TrackHouse gets one of the charters Front Row gets one of the charters 2311 gets one of the charters the other charter will either go to JRM or Beard Motorsport or the money team both teams have said they want to go full time or to the 30 car that’s yet to show up

SHR will shut down completely, it's only a matter of time. Charters will go to Front Row, RFK, and Trackhouse.

But, Logano won the All-Star race... He was in your top-10 for 4 or 5 races at the beginning of the season when he was crashing every race.... lol

Hendrick has better structure because they have Nascar, fox, and nbc in their back pocket. Shr might not exist next year because of Nascar driving them away. Stewart is interested in NHRA, and Haas is more interested in F1. Stewart might sell his shares to Hamlin to make 23XI a 4 car Toyota team.

The only thing about the race is same problem, it's hard to pass, and you don't want a single car dominating an entire race

Tony Stewart and Gene Haas need to have a cage match at the Coca-Cola 600.

I don’t blame Tony he owns teams in NHRA without the drama that nascar has created he has the potential to make history if he can pull off a championship in top fuel go Tony go

tell me the difrence betwen TS and Harvick ?? asking for a friend both front runners

How many CUP wins does Ryan preece have now?🤷‍♀️

According to Kenny Wallace it was a "Brawl".....🤣🤣🤣

Daytona then Darlington Southern 500 is the biggest week in racing!

I'm tired of hearing about testing packages and tires that's all they do.

OK where is that haas guy at...... here it is I told you.......

Could Penske be putting more time and money in later season cars and tracks? Possibly banking on early races not mattering as much?

I think it is time that shr is gone I mean someone else like trackhouse or even RFK could buy charters from them and I will be taking on this topic in my vid that comes out tonight

What does bubba have to do so you put him in the top ten he’s been running good since you took him out plz tell me

Harvick says that but joined them after rcr. I would imagine he had many more options. I thought him and Stewart were best friends when I use to see Stewart drive for khi all the time. Thought he joined Stewart cuz of that relationship.

Stop letting all the drivers SMT data be public- we already have the same car we don't want the same drivers!

Today was Tony’s birthday damn lol

Hey Eric estepp what do you think the 2025 cup schedule is going to look like?

Did Goodyear even do night time testing on the softer tires to see how it preforms on cooler track temperatures?

I think Tony got really pissed at Ford when he could not hire Kyle Larson then with all the finds the last couple years I think he's done. 🤔✌️🇺🇸

ithink tony is selling has part of team

The tires were so low on air they were wrinkled like drag racing tires .
