Stewart-Haas Racing:
NASCAR Championship Legacy
Stewart-Haas Racing is a title-winning NASCAR team co-owned by three-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, founded by Haas Automation — North America's largest CNC machine tool builder.

Gene Haas and Tony Stewart announced they were forming SHR on July 10, 2008. The two might have seemed like an unlikely pair initially, but they became a force to reckon with. Why? Gene brought innovation to SHR, and Tony brought racers. Together, they built a team full of racers who rolled up their sleeves and came together for one common cause: Hang banners.

Our journey started with just two Cup cars in 2009, and we quickly saw success. Tony scored our first NASCAR Cup Series win at Charlotte Motor Speedway and followed it up with another at the Pocono 500. In just our first year as an organization, SHR placed both of its cars in the top 10 in the season-ending point standings. Stewart and the No. 14 finished sixth in points, while Ryan Newman and the No. 39 finished ninth.

Just two years after our inception, Stewart-Haas Racing clinched its first NASCAR Cup Series Championship with Tony Stewart and the No. 14 team, setting the tone for the expectations of this organization. Since then, we've had many more milestones, including another NASCAR Championship with Kevin Harvick in 2014, two NASCAR Xfinity Series championships, and 100 NASCAR races, including such crown-jewel events as the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, and Southern 500.

Today, Stewart-Haas Racing remains a team full of a bunch of racers— aggressive in our pursuits yet unpretentious in our approach. Whether born into the sport or drawn to it as a fan, our team embodies the racer's mentality. And our goal remains the same: hang banners.
