Stewart said, “Hey, just wanted to take a second. Thank all you fans for all your supportive SHR this year. We know we felt a little bit short of our expectations and goals and know that we let a lot of you down as well, but we definitely had some high points this year. Getting wins, getting the cars running better at the end of the season.”
“We’re really excited this offseason to keep working to make our program and to give you guys more wins next year so can’t wait to see you guys next season.”

Fans stated,
Circumstances and events may let me down but y'all never do. Behind SHR all the way and for the long haul no matter what, just like I've been behind Tony all the way since 1998. Always appreciate everybody's efforts. Looking forward to a great 2023 season.

It'd only be a disappointment if you all quit fighting. You never did and the cars got better and better.

Some fans were also heard asking for SHR to extend Kevin Harvick’s contract so that he could keep his seat and continue racing with the team and one day hopefully get them closer to the top. SHR maybe did not have a great result as per their expectations, but they sure did fare well, and with the next season coming up, there is sure enough room for them to work upon things that went awry this year and come back stronger next season.
