Hunger Fuels SHR Dominance

Posted March 30, 2018 by Jimmy Mac

Six races. Four wins. Stewart-Haas Racing is rocking it at the outset of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series campaign. There are a number of ingredients in the blend that is fueling success at SHR. Technology. Talent. The desire for a manufacturer new to the team to demonstrate the change did the team good. It's all of those things, plus a group of hungry drivers with differing stories eager to prove something. 2014 champion Kevin Harvick wants another. He no doubt blesses the day h ...

That's also the combined career victory total for Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Aric Almirola, Erik Jones, Austin Dillon, Alex Bowman and Paul Menard. Do you know what these seven drivers have in common?

Some acted like MTJ's win at Auto Club represented a bounce back. It really wasn't. Lost in the excitement over Kevin Harvick's three-race skein was the consistency of Martin Truex Jr. Sure, an average finish of 6.5 isn't quite as sexy as three wins, but it tells you something about how this team really hasn't lost anythi ...

Stewart-Haas Racing Firing On All Cylinders

Posted March 15, 2018 by Jimmy Mac

Did you catch this? Not only did Kevin Harvick win his third straight race Sunday in the employ of Stewart-Haas Racing, all three of his teammates made the top ten. Clint Bowyer finished sixth for SHR. Aric Almirola took seventh. Kurt Busch- who looked like a possible race winner- placed 10th for Stewart-Haas Racing. Who thought that at the beginning of the season that it would by SHR leading the way for Ford and not Penske? Clint Bowyer appears to be finding his footing in his second ...
