#Stewart Haas Racing

NASCAR will make it's second-ever stop to Austin and Circuit of the Americas with the NASCAR EchoPark Automotive Cup Grand Prix featuring events from Friday, March 25 through Sunday, March 27. Events at COTA will include racing in all three of its major series, non-race entertainment and multiple driver appearances. Last Sunday, William Byron took…

With 19 different winners in 2022, you could say it was never easier to win a race in the NASCAR Cup Series. But actually, the opposite was true. Parity and competition meant every checkered flag was as hotly contested as an early November box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. It left playoff stalwarts like Ryan Blaney and Martin Truex winless…

If your eyeballs did the around-the-world-360 every time NASCAR driver Ty Gibbs showed up for interviews holding a can of Monster Energy last season, then be prepared for many more orbits. Details are forthcoming, but a report on Thursday said the beverage company will play a significant role in sponsoring Gibbs' No. 54 Toyota in his first full Cup…

It's anyone's race in this year's Daytona 500, but behind clear superspeedway MVP Denny Hamlin, the favorites might be nothing but fool's gold. Find out why we're approaching the top of the odds board with caution in our Daytona 500 picks and predictions. NASCAR is back in full force for 2022, with the legendary Daytona 500 running this weekend. As…

It's the end of December. I don't know if I should go back to the previous season or turn to the next one. How about both? Here are my attempts at a version of the awards for 2022 - with winner predictions for 2023. Best Pilot 2022: Joey Logan Logano was at his best when it mattered most - later in the season. He took everything he learned over the…

Stewart-Haas Racing's big offseason move was replacing Cole Custer with Ryan Preece. Kevin Harvick was thinking bigger, pushing over the summer for the team to pursue Kyle Busch. We'll never know if Harvick's reasoning would have translated into success, but a reporter recently delved into the rationale, and it sounds plausible. Aric Almirola got…

Team Penske's Joey Logano continued his trend of qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4 in even years by winning Sunday afternoon's round of 8 opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Since the current elimination playoff format was introduced in 2014, Logano has only ever qualified for the winner-take-all final round in the even seasons,…

America's biggest form of motorsport, NASCAR, is very traditional. There's a staid way of doing things and, even if the unexpected occurs every now and then, the rule of thumb is that the powerhouse teams always win. What doesn't happen is a start-up operation arrives at its top level, bragging a co-owner who's a Grammy Award-winning megastar. It…

The NASCAR Cup Series' Silly Season front has been quiet as of late but that's mostly due to the abundance of rides already taken. However, the two-feeder series have been busy with a slew of announcements this week. On Thursday, Toyota solidified their plans for the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season with both Joe Gibbs Racing and Sam Hunt Racing…

In many Western cultures, black cats were traditionally seen as bad luck omens. It is said that crossing paths with one could bring a person bad luck. However, it seemed that Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick did not get the memo. At the Atlanta Motor Speedway, he was racing in the #4 car, when something unexpected happened. During a green…

The expectation heading into Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 (3 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) is that thanks to the reconfiguration and repave of Atlanta Motor Speedway, the race will run similarly to those at Daytona and Talladega. With increased banking and a narrowed layout, plus the addition of tapered spacers to the engines,…

When the engines start and the green flag flies for the first time, almost anything can happen during a new NASCAR Cup Series season. And last year, it certainly did. Michael McDowell entered the 2021 season having never won a Cup Series race, until the story of his career changed entirely when he won the Daytona 500. Kyle Larson has gone from a…

Last Wednesday, Kaulig Racing Fan Day solidified two more seats in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series driver lineup, as Kaulig Racing confirmed that Justin Haley is set to remain behind the wheel of the #31 Chevrolet and current Xfinity Series driver A.J. Allmendinger is set to go from part-time to full-time driver of the #16 Chevrolet. The lineup for next…

The Action Network specializes in providing sports betting insights/analytics and is a content partner with NASCAR. Practice and qualifying for Sunday's NASCAR Toyota Owners 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) at Richmond were incredibly helpful for bettors. Richmond Raceway, a 0.75-mile short, flat track, is one of the most predictable venues on the NASCAR…

Ryan Preece is the newly appointed full-time Cup driver in Stewart-Haas Racing for the 2023 season. It is extremely rare for a reserve driver on a Cup team to get promoted to a full-time role. Even more unusual was when Preece lost his full-time ride after three disappointing seasons with JTG Daugherty Racing. On the same day that SHR announced…

Of any NASCAR Cup Series race this year, I think Homestead is the one where my model has deviated most from the market. I know why this is the case. The betting odds are heavily bumping up drivers who traditionally run well at Homestead, assuming that'll be the case again this week. It could very well play out that way. Homestead is a unique track,…

After a busy last couple of days in the NASCAR front in terms of driver announcements, what's now left? On Tuesday, it was revealed that the long-awaited news that Ty Gibbs would replace Kyle Busch with Joe Gibbs Racing on the Cup level has now been confirmed. However, he'll drive the No. 54 instead of the No. 18. On Wednesday morning, it was…

Both IndyCar and NASCAR have ended their seasons, NHRA wraps things up this weekend, and Formula 1 says adios to 2022 next weekend. But Autoweek and REVVED UP! will keep rolling throughout the offseason every week (well, we may skip a week or two around the holidays). So strap yourself in, put on your helmet and fire suit, and get your motor…

AVONDALE, AZ - We're now in the dawn of the NASCAR season. One chapter closed on Sunday in Phoenix and in 90 days, we'll be back in action in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the 2nd Busch Light Clash in So Cal. NASCAR has not only the longest season in all of sports, but as a result of that, the shortest offseason as well. With that said,…

HMS is once again positioned atop the odds board at Dover. Can a rival emerge to challenge the dominant squad in this year's DuraMAX Drydene 400? Find out with our picks and predictions - including tempting longshot Daniel Suarez. After dominating the last year's edition of this race -sweeping the Top 4 finishes - Hendrick Motor Sports sees its…

After a commanding performance from Chase Elliott in Atlanta, the NASCAR Cup Series heads north to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Aric Almirola scored a shocking upset win here last year. Since 13 have won already this season, those without a win will be desperate to punch their playoff tickets. I'm targeting a few winless guys as smart picks for…

For an appeal hearing amid one of the more contentious NASCAR Cup Series playoffs in recent memory, there sure wasn't too much discourse about Cole Custer and Stewart-Haas Racing losing their appeal to reverse their Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL penalties over affecting the race outcome, was there? Probably because it was the cut-and-dry right…

Tony Stewart and NASCAR have a history. There were more than a few occasions during his career when the former driver would say or do something that drew the ire of the sanctioning body. As a team owner, you'd think Stewart wouldn't have any reason to beef with NASCAR. You'd be wrong. In each of the past two weeks, the Stewart-Haas Racing team has…

It sure has been a week for NASCAR sports betting stories. Several long-odds bets paid out at Daytona last Sunday, including the bet of a Stacking Dennys listener who won $1 million on a $13.49 four-leg parlay. Side note: we were able to get him for an exclusive interview for this week's episode, which you can listen to here: But even though it's…

Silly Season is winding down as only a few remaining seats are still open for the 2023 season.

CONCORD, N.C. - The first racing book Justin Marks ever read was called "The Unfair Advantage," written during a one-year sabbatical by the late Mark Donohue about his boss Roger Penske. Marks grew up in admiration of Penske, Rick Hendrick and Joe Gibbs, the top owners in American motorsports. When he was 15, Marks got his picture taken with Gibbs…

Yes, this sounds strange but is true. With Chase Elliott into the "Round Of Eight" after his Talladega win, it will be interesting to see who plays it safe and who goes for it. For example, Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin seem to be comfortably above the cut line (18 and 21 points respectively). However, Larson and Hamlin are both highly competitive…

The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs roll on to Texas Motor Speedway this weekend for the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500. It's a race name as hard to say as this track has been for teams to figure out. TMS has been an enigma, indeed, since its first race on the Cup calendar in 1997. That weekend, qualifying had to be postponed because of water…

Aric Almirola's No. 10 team will lose a crew member for the race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway. NASCAR officials ejected an engineer after multiple failed pre-race inspections at the intermediate track. The Cup Series teams went through inspection on Friday, September 23. All of the entries passed on the first or second attempts, with the…

It's probably way too early to deal with such things, but the Vegas bookies are most likely favoring the four-team Hendrick Motorsports juggernaut to win yet another NASCAR Cup Series title in a couple of months. The Chevrolet-based, 14-time championship company will send 2020 titlist Chase Elliott, 2021 titlist Kyle Larson, 2014 Rookie of the Year…
