Since the partnership of Tony Stewart and Gene Haas gave birth to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2009, the team has consistently secured victories in every NASCAR Cup Series season. However, 2023 marked a departure from this streak, as the team experienced its first winless year in the Cup Series. Seeking to emerge from this setback, the team recognized the potential remedy lies in embracing a fresh look and a fresh perspective.
In the fast-paced world of NASCAR, staying attuned to modernization is crucial, and rejuvenation becomes a top priority. Heading into 2024, Stewart-Haas Racing has taken a bold step by revealing a brand new logo, symbolizing the team’s enduring legacy as Stewart showcases the historic prestige of his racing entity.

Boasting renowned drivers such as Kevin Harvick, Daniel Suarez, Tony Stewart, and Danica Patrick, among others, SHR has solidified a commanding identity in the racing arena. In addition to it, their two driver championships and 65 NASCAR wins serve as a testament to their capabilities. Complementing this stature are their two driver championships and an impressive tally of 65 NASCAR wins, a compelling testament to their exceptional capabilities.
Despite these accolades, the team faced a significant setback, concluding the 2023 season with a career-worst performance. In a proactive move to shake off the disappointment of the past season and usher in a fresh identity for the upcoming one, SHR revealed a thoroughly redesigned logo.
But before the disclosure, Stewart took center stage to make SHR’s historic unraveling and started with his powerful message to the naysayers. “If there’s one thing I have learned in my career is that the doubters are always the loudest from the outside…anyone who doubts us doesn’t really know us. Because this team was founded by two renegades who do things their way,” he said.
Having an insatiable hunger to hunt for challenges is visible in SHR’s 2024 blueprint, and with their modern logo, the team vowed to abide by its dominant persona. Stewart emphasized SHR’s decades-long ideology and said, “Gene [Haas] and I don’t welcome challenges, we seek them out. The reality is, to understand SHR, you have to understand our history…people thought I was crazy leaving a championship-winning team and people probably never expected that I’d be the guy Gene would bring on board.”
Surely, earlier in the day, many opined how Stewart made a questionable move when he joined hands with Haas in 2009, but the intriguing part is what Haas saw in the then-Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Stewart unraveled Gene’s perception of him and vice versa, and said, “What I saw in Gene Haas was a guy who relentlessly chased innovation. He started a business in his garage in 1983 with nothing but a dream and turned it into a global company. What Gene saw in me was a racer who relentlessly chased winning, like my hero A.J. Foyt. If I got in a car, you better not bet against me.”
While narrating the enthralling journey of SHR, Stewart ended the notion with his team’s brand-new logo revelation and said, “That vision that Gene and I built in 2009, is the same vision we have today…I can tell you winning is not a smoky ambition for us. Our edge, our desire, our relentless ways, these things remain the same. We aren’t here to entertain, we’re not here for the hype, we don’t have to prove our legacy, we’re here to elevate racing and to win.” Highlighting Stewart’s initial in blue and that of Haas’ in white, with a smoky black background, the initials stood out individually, portraying equal ownership in the team.
From the start in 2009, we’ve rolled up our sleeves, done things our way, and relentlessly pursued our passion for racing.
Today, we’re unveiling a new brand identity that reflects that DNA. pic.twitter.com/SLEfNPYHJz
