HAAS STAYS In NASCAR!

Haas stays in NASCAR! While Stewart-Haas Racing will not return in 2025 there will be a Haas team in both the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Jordan Bianchi broke the news that Gene Haas will have a single car Cup team and keep the Xfinity team as is while the rest of the details are TBA. So today we are going to look into it and see what options this team may have.

[@billnewberry6295]

Mr. Jack, do you feel that Haas wants to stay in NASCAR to be competitive, rebuild to where they can win races again? Or is this just to have a car on track to be a rolling billboard for Haas Automation and Haas Tooling? Me, I think it's the second, unless they revive the Hendrick connection and this becomes the team that Junior wants to invest into. Very interested to know your thoughts.

[@JackCallSports]

[@S.K.R.E.Inc.]

Conspiracy theory: Haas intended to drive out Stewart with his dumb decisions to have sole ownership of the team. Now that that's done, the future is very uncertain, especially seeing how Hamlin, Marks, Keslowski, and other teams are vying for that one open spot to take from Haas and boost their numbers

[@thembanjoko2844]

With Haas sticking around in NASCAR, I think Cole Custer will drive in Cup next year, he's no longer the favorite to drive for Front Row. FRM will make a tough decision on who they'll sign next year, most likely Noah Gragson and/or Josh Berry as Berry is also a favorite for Wood Bros/Penske to drive the 21.

[@dcaseng]

This makes me think Stewart was the main problem. Tony Stewart is the one who was always flirting with leaving Nascar, and his attention was on projects outside of Nascar. Stewart Haas could have survived if they simply reduced down to 2 teams, and sold the other 2 charters. Running a 4 car team is extremely difficult, especially when one of the owners loses interest in managing things on a day to day basis.

[@RC.41]

Stewart only cares about #1. Himself, making money.

[@SPARTAN-mb6gx]

Tony went to different projects because he honestly probably didn't think it wad worth his time look at the team since he left Harvick was the sole life line for that team and now he's gone why would Stewart stick around

I think staying at ford makes the most sense because ford really needs haas in Xfinity

[@syaieya]

While the 41 has championed the HAAS name, i think you stick with the best recognition for outside people when deciding which number stays. The 4 and 14 both have championships, and Custer is making a name in the 00 on the xfinity side. So all in I think the 41 has the least chance of being kept even counting the 10 car.

[@NeosAvias]

Regarding their placements next year, I honestly think they might do better than people expect. I've had this theory that SHR was struggling because they were spreading dwindling resources too thin between four teams and cars, and that if they just shrunk to a more manageable size and consolidate their talent to maybe two teams they'd be fine. Going to one seems a bit drastic because now you have to rely on a single car to get any and all winnings instead of having a back-up entry, but hey, they are at least downsizing which should stop the bleeding. Also for aesthetic purposes I would kind'a like them to bring back the 0 car or something. Rebrand the 98 in Xfinity to the 0 and we cam have some consistent theming across the whole organization. (Also because if I ever got into iRacing I'd probably rep the 00.

[@NASCARFAN93100]

Talk about Coming Full Circle

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Gene Haas’ NASCAR team only became good when Tony Stewart became co-owner. Before that happened, they sucked. So I’m not sure how they would do in 2025 and moving forward. They could either be good or repeat history before 2009. I’d like to be optimistic about the return of “Haas Racing”, but they were not good before 2009 and even the Haas F1 team is garbage. So, yeah. Maybe the Xfinity team can be good, but who knows. As of this comment, I don’t feel too confident about the return of Gene’s NASCAR team. EDIT: at least most of the employees are staying, so that’s a positive I’ll take ;)

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

It all for advertising his CnC equipment, just like his F1 team.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

@@kharnthebetrayer1575 yep. I’ve always knew Gene was all for business and Tony was more for racing. After 2022, I just gave up on hoping for F1 Haas to do well

[@ieatdeath-7724]

They are gonna be decent in Xfinity and maybe have a driver make the playoffs and in cup probably like a 20th-26th points finish.

[@chrebetcrunch]

Herbst is not a top driver. In 157 Xfinity starts he has just 1 win and 2 poles. There are a dozen better drivers out there and Custer is 10X better. Custer has 158 starts, just one more than Herbst, but he has 13 wins and 20 poles. If Herbst gets a ride, it is because someone wrote a HUGE check.

[@miketwotwenty]

Xfinity is different from cup!

[@acedelta12]

I guess you could say they wrote a MONSTER check.

[@HotmanGaming]

There's a reason why Riley Herbst is likely to go to 23XI Racing if he were to go to the Cup Series in 2025. And that's his past racing experience with JGR. In fact, I'm almost expecting either Tyler Reddick or Ty Gibbs to have Monster Energy dropped as their sponsor in favor of having Riley Herbst be sponsored by Monster Energy.

[@acedelta12]

@@HotmanGaming Unless all three have Monster sponsoring. Huh, a Monster Energy Racing Family...

[@StlOzzie62]

This is my conspiracy thought: Andretri Autosport wants to get into F1. What if HAAS forms an alliance with Andrett in F1 and in exchamge, Andretti helps with funding of his NASCAR team. Then they switch to Chevy since Andretti wants to bring Cadillac into F1.

[@arthuralford]

Won't happen. Haas is in F1 because he likes being an F1 team owner. He likes being able to bring clients to races, give them the "insiders tour," and sell them his multi-million dollar CNC machines and service contracts. The team gets a split of F1's money, and has enough sponsorship to pay the bills. And there's some personal animosity between Haas and Michael Andretti, and has repeatedly said Andretti's the last person he'd sell to. My thought is that Haas wants to be in NASCAR, but doesn't want to spend the money he's had to put out for years. Getting rid of Stewart means no partner to split profits with, and Stewart's given up on NASCAR since the Eldora snub and drag racing is more fun for him now. Stewart is probably happy to be rid of whatever commitments he had at SHR, and walks away with a nice payday. Haas can now be a Cup team owner, bring clients to races, give them that "insiders tour," and sell them his multi-million dollar Made in 'murica CNC machines. Custer's family pays the bills, and won't steal the spotlight from Haas. Ford will continue to support them as long as they need a competitive Xfinity team. Penske isn't interested; RFK is still rebuilding their Cup team and it'd be a distraction. Supporting Haas in Xfinity, while giving them third-tier support in Cup, is in Ford's best interest, especially if they decide to move Deegan up to Cup (and don't learn the lesson of Danica)

[@williamjames648]

I think this just shows you how bad Tony wanted out of the sport how far it has really sunk

[@dennispalmer6007]

I think his focus is now on his wife and NHRA.

[@swinny5797]

Prediction: They stay with Ferd. So Ford still has a decent Xfinity outfit and doesn't have to piss a bunch of money away building an Xfinity only team up or getting Penske/Roush back into the series. Driver: Custer. He's not going to be very good but daddy's money will prevail there. I would like to see them use the 00 in cup for mid 00's nostalgia reasons.

[@jordynpropst8915]

Custer to cup is locked. Good, bad or otherwise it’s the future of that team for cup in the foreseeable future. Herbst will likely continue on in Xfinity and Brandon Jones (if he gets the boot from JRM) would likely make up the Xfinity team. I struggle to think this will be a serious competitive organization. If anything I think this should be a looked at as a funding/B2B/financials first type organization.

[@chriscavin5453]

I feel like it'll be a one year thing in cup for haas tbh Next year (if there's a new charter agreement) that charter will be worth at least double what it is now because it will likely be the only one available

[@GtimeSports]

@@kharnthebetrayer1575 I understand the history, but I need to see at least one year of this team in the next gen era , putting all their effort into one charter before I agree.

[@Borchert97]

I knew something like this was gonna happen. I thought maybe if FRM does move into the shop, Gene and Joe might stick around to run some of the business aspects as the team expands, but I didn't rule this one car thing out either. My guess is Tony and Gene each had "control" of two charters, and Tony just wanted to cash out entirely, and my guess is Gene saw how high charter prices were as well and wanted to sell one, but Joe wants them to keep at least one for Cole Custer to race with in the future, so that all makes sense.

I actually like this move. I think Gene HASS and HASS automation staying in the cup series is a good thing. And I think he’ll have a better chance at being successful in the cup series than F1. And as for how they will preform. I do think they will be a back burner for most of the 2025 season. And then start showing signs of speed towards the end of 2025. I think if they’re not on the same level as RWR they will be slightly below that. And I do think they have a whole lot of drivers to consider for not only the cup series seat. But the two xfinity series seats too. I think if cole Custer doesn’t get the cup series seat. It will either be Chase Briscoe or josh berry. And then for the xfinity series rides. I think if Riley herbst doesn’t leave. He gets one of those xfinity series seats. And for the other. I’m thinking that Ryan preece ends up in the xfinity series in that second seat.

[@paulkribbs1701]

I dont think it matters too much as long as Tony Stewart is gone. Tony brought the NASCAR prowess to that team. Should dump it also

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

I had heard rumor of Haas staying in Xfinity so that doesn't surprise me, but keeping a Cup car is very unexpected. Definitely think Custer is the leading candidate for Cup, I think reports had it that the decision to drop him back to Xfinity in the first place was a Stewart idea, and I genuinely think Custer has been Cup ready, he just joined the team when the downfall started. No saying what will happen, but I hope focusing all effort on one ride instead of dividing effort to four seperate teams can get them in the tight direction. I think Herbst keeps his ride, and Preece takes the Xfinity 00. I'd also like to see the car change to the 0 or 00, but I don't know what rules apply to Cup numbers.

Happy for those who get to keep their jobs, but at best, I'd say that this team will be similar to what we see currently: Mid pack with flashes of impressive moments/finishes, but this is only if they can keep or bring in a good driver (I'd say most likely candidate is Cole Custer). Problem is the money side of things, especially if Gene Haas is going to have to slap his name on the car every week, and I don't know if he's willing to put out the big dollars for a driver who is currently being looked at by other teams (4-5 of the 6 drivers left with SHR are pretty much on everyone's wish list in the Cup Series)... However, given that it will just be one car instead of 4 now, I may be surprised. Hope things work out for everyone involved next season.

Xfinity unless herbst goes to cup, that’s tbd on two seats perhaps given ford needs to keep more cars probably that’s like there to stay.

I want to see her race for a actual top tier team like what she had in the K&N West that team was really good and she was able to win three races and most of her finishes was top 5, then she drove for DGR which isn't a good team now they are doing better because they went from ford to Toyota, Thorsport who had success with Toyota switched to ford and well haven't shown the same speed that they had before. This is her first season in Xfinity her rookie season. Remember where Ross Chastain came from JD Motorsports I believe and he got the opportunity to drive in the 42 car that was really good in Xfinity and showed speed and even won. I think if she can drive for any team that's better than AM Racing even if she has to change manufacturers i think it will help her
