I think Tony checked out on SHR. He was out drag racing and running in Cleeters Indy race two weekends ago. Then he is out dirt and drag racing somewhere else this past weekend. Tony has already said he finds no joy in NASCAR and their constant gimmicks have affected racing, he hates the cookie cutter cars. The total lack of imagination from massaging gray areas now just off put so many veterans. Some are just hanging on to make money others want those charters permanent which would give them a vote in the future and an ownership stake in NASCAR.

[@TheCloudCreation]

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.

[@dannydean3024]

Goodyear, that is the answer Goodyear just doesn’t know

[@ethanweeter2732]

Or Goodyear needs to calculate based on things like just rubber being laid down and temperature.

[@thestarlightalchemist7333]

Hey Firestone and Hoosier, we may need a backup plan over here!

[@jeremyharper3462]

I think the tire they brought will be perfect at any other short track if they are running at a track temp of 90 degrees or more. I don't care what they said about the abrasiveness they tried to get in the new pavement, it's still new pavement and was never going to create excessive wear, especially at night with a 70 or so degree track temp. They need to make another, even softer, tire for new pavement and low track temp races. They also should bring at least two options to every race and select the one that will wear the fastest based on raceday conditions, in case it is significantly hotter/colder than expected.

[@RAID3R63]

Well all the practices were in the heat of the day so it not really surprising that they didn't fall off as expected

[@Zoni26]

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.

[@since1961]

Unfair advantage😊 buy logano super tuning and testing? When the testing should be done only by lower tear teams in points?

[@BrianIsTheGOAT594]

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.

[@Skyvernius]

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.

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

[@johnhaas2523]

He made eldora disappear off the schedule permanently because he was pissed about Bristol dirt so he had the contract renewal ripped up. NASCAR should have said something or Marcus Smith should have said something to him instead of him finding out from a friend or maybe zippy about it

[@grahamcrackergaming1540]

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.

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.

[@johnathanjohnson5367]

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

[@FastEvan47]

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

[@JunkWaffles]

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.

[@outfield1988]

Hard to believe Logano drove all those laps on reds.

[@joshuapboston1999]

SHR continues to fall apart at the seams with Kevin Harvick Throwing Shade at his former team, Dale Earnhardt Jr is completely off his meds when he suggests that the race, if it was a race, was actually an okay show at North Wilkesboro, and Goodyear is going to fail at the new tire once again. Face it! Short track racing across the country is essentially dead because of NASCAR and Goodyear's incompetence!

[@punkskaterpizza]

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

[@mlptcb]

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

[@bryceduncan5608]

Today was Tony’s birthday damn lol

[@matthewgrear3260]

We are 3 years into the new car and Goodyear still brings crap tires to the races.

[@chrisdadigger1018]

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

[@johnhaas2523]

That's very funny based on the results I've seen and the points standings that they're running 30th

[@matthewerbele7843]

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

[@travisevans9365]

ithink tony is selling has part of team

[@johnhaas2523]

Sounds like everything is Gene wants out

[@guymichaels3233]

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

[@keithcampbell5150]

It’ll be a sad day in NASCAR history, if this happens. So disappointed in the inactivity and lack of participation by Gene Haas… Tony has been busy doing his NHRA thing, busy being married, and dealing with/ his other dirt car teams. This all falls on Gene. Shame on YOU!!! Way to destroy a powerhouse team, in record time ! Gives me shades of the presidency…

[@ethanweeter2732]

COVID destroyed SHR and hurt the country too.

[@tankerboysabot]

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

[@user-dv7ro8xp4f]

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

[@jonmabe254]

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

[@morganrigsbee4274]

Kevin just mad He did not get a hendrick motor sports car in his career

[@T.N.D.88]

Both Stewart and Harvick won cup championships running Hendrick Chevy's.

[@ethanweeter2732]

@@T.N.D.88Essentially, Hendrick engines and chassis at that time I think.

[@Ethan_Nascarfan]

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

[@charleyanne]

I subbed to you, I'll watch for that video.

[@GracieSkywalker]

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

[@artnascar9748]

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. 🤔✌️🇺🇸

[@dannydean3024]

The car is joke, the tires are a joke. Give the car back to the teams. Maybe even get new owners for NASCAR

[@brandondavis8790]

Facts

[@jrdennis18]

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

[@mhurley782]

Big fan, watch everyday, and no ties to SHR... But you’re speaking confidently about an organization you’ve never worked a day at… Speculation is the nature of sports commentary, but I think you’re better.

[@danielrios4299]

Haas/daugherty racing 2025

[@johnhaas2523]

Hahahaha

[@cliffordbrown13]

Why doesn't Ryan Blaney smile? He is the only driver without a smile on his face, lol!
