The 2024 NASCSAR Cup season will mark an end of an era, as the Ford giants Stewart Haas Racing will cease their operations at the end of the year. They are set to sell all three of their charters before next season, with the fourth charter being converted into a third team, Haas Factory Team, with Cole Custer as the driver.
The NSACAR community was furious when the news of ceasing operations was announced. Teams’ co-owner Tony Stewart, who is leaving the ownership role entirely, received heavy backlash over his decision. The former Cup champion explained his opinion on the criticism with his former driver Kevin Harvick in the Happy Hour podcast.
He asserted that the bashing he got online was really unjust and he proceeded to take a shoot the social media critic. Stewart pointed out that none of the social media critics have given them any positive idea to get the team out of the mess and their comments was just limited to personal criticism.
The bashing I got online and on social media was very unjust through the process. It’s easy to sit on your ass, on a chair, on your couch in your mom’s house and sit there and tell us how we’re doing it wrong. But nobody can seem to sit there and come in on Monday morning and tell us how to do it right.
Tony Stewart said via Happy Hour podcast.
