Ryan Preece’s performance in 2023 proves that it wasn’t Cole Custer’s fault for the lack of performance during his 3 year stint. Loads of people owe 2023 Xfinity Series champion (albeit because of the playoffs) Cole Custer an apology
I’m sorry.
Cole still got outpreformed in numerous categorys by ryan preece so still a good move. Cole is where he belongs not at the top
Yes and no. Preece struggled but unlike Custer, he actually is a contender on certain circuits....in this case short tracks. Yes, Custer did win that Kentucky race but that's more so the 550 pkg than him being good at intermediates. Preece's short track prowess is the sole reason I am considering him for my playoff grid.
You’re really counting the fake championship? 😂😂😂
@@BlackFlagsMatter For the record, I wasn’t saying that because of your Custer video. No need to feel ashamed BFM
I hope that Stewart-Haas returns to their form of dominance like Hendrick did after their rebuild. Guys like Preece and Berry deserve that after their years of hard work.
I was an intern for them this summer
And even though it was the time of my life
Man it was painful just being slow
Such great people there and they wanna get it fixed
Hope this new mustang helps with their speed in most tracks
Edit:Cameo at 7:42 lmfao
there had to have been a rule change that affected SHR post 2020… ain’t no way a 3-4 playoff car team turns unbelievably mid overnight
I think there were new rules implemented about the fender areas. Then once the Next Gen came around they were behind the ball
I kinda think SHR will improve and get 1 of their cars into the playoffs next year. They had some bright spots last year outside of Harvick. Briscoe and Almirola looked unbeatable when they had track position at the summer race in Daytona. All of them were great at Martinsville and Richmond. They got Berry who looked very solid in the 9 (and 48 and 42) and Gragson will mentally have a clean slate. Wouldn't be surprised if they went winless but wouldn't be shocked if they won a race this year, maybe even two
Stewart haas: pain
The persona 5 music: 🕺
Preece is the first driver from the modifieds to the Cup Series since Steve Park. Preece kicked the Tour regulars ass at the final Martinsville race after not racing a mod since the Thompson World Series in 2022. Preece and Logano are our drivers here in New England
The highlight of the season for SHR was Talladega with Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr Wonder Bread and Old Spice car.
And Almirola ruining Larson's chances at wins early in the year, that was hilarious
Really sad to see this team fall from grace…
Hoping berry or Gragson can help rebuild
Especially if Berry can get a win at 1 of the short tracks and make it all the way to the round of 12
Gragson’s gonna break shit. Berry however, I think he’ll do that team some good.
Funny that Cole Custer was held back to Xfinity to win the Championship
@@MegaMr46 yeah. Because he couldn’t do a damn thing in cup.
Preece is no way a joke
He’s from my home track stafford 15 minutes from home I could go see him if he still raced there
He’s a contender on most superspeedways and a threat on short tracks
He was screwed by the electrical issue at the clash
And a penalty at martinsville
And then I’m guessing they don’t want you to be better then the playoff drivers in the fall so he wasn’t a threat in the fall martinsville race
I think the reason Preece struggled, was due to bad luck. There were quite a few races where he was running good, only to get caught in a wreck. There were definitely races where he was just bad, but he often was just an innocent bystander who got caught in others messes. I personally think it was a good decision to put him in that car, because he looked much faster than Custer was in the 41. I mean, Cole was often just bad, and sometimes struggled against even the Rick Ware cars. Preece just felt like he was always getting caught in others mistakes, like how he was taken out during the mayhem at Cota.
Running 7th at cota. Everyone forgets that!
I was literally sayingg “holy s**t” at the top of my lungs when Ryan Preece had that massive crash
Everyone was sleeping so i didnt wanna wake anyone up but i silently said OH MY GOD in a sad voice i thought i just witnessed someone brutally hurt
🙀🙀🙀
Would love to see a bad seasons for Dale Jarrett 2003.
They made Brad Parrott the CC too right?
Is he related to Todd?
mid 2000s RYR ptsd please no 😅
Meanwhile, the guy who Ryan Preece replaced went on to win the Xfinity Series Championship.
By a Mickey Mouse points format
womp womp @@GatoradeCupSeriesX94
@@GatoradeCupSeriesX94 I know. Still won it though.
One owner has his attention more on his F1 team than NASCAR. The other owns tracks, series, multiple other racing teams, and has been focusing on a new career in drag racing. The management is capable, but when both your owners are absentee much of the time, what does that say about their dedication to their team? If the top guys aren't paying attention, it gets noticed
Tony is an absent He's around the shop more than you f****** think and he is only a phone call away if they need anything from him and I'm sure he talks with zippy weekly or someone else in management. He has never been hands on just as he isn't hands on with his NHRA teams or dirt racing team and he isn't even at the nitro shop often as that is in Indiana and I don't think Indiana his and Leah's primary residence. You're just another f****** clown who's just spitting whatever they f****** want to say and blame the owners
I know everybody can't be winner's but I hate to see ANY team struggle. I'm so proud of RFK Racing. I'm hoping SHR can do the same.
As a fan, I think any racing series is at its best when we see as many different winners as possible and all entrants are at least competitive.
I’d like to stay optimistic but I have a feeling this video will have a part 2 for 2024
the 550 package killed this team
2020 much?
Not really. 2020 bud
I'm a former Stewart Haas Racing fan. Now, a 23XI Racing fan and Legacy Motor Club fan. I just hope Stewart Haas Racing can rebuild in February back to winning contention.
Fairweather fan!!
I too am a 23XI Racing Fan and 2023 was their best season as of making this comment Considering both of their Cars scored Top 10 Points Finishes in just their third season
@@NASCARFAN93100 Same :)
Harvick should have won 3 races last year (Phoenix, Martinsville, Darlington) if not for terrible luck. Other than that I don’t see it in any of the current lineup of drivers. I’m not on the Josh Berry hype train, I don’t believe in Briscoe yet, Preece has flashes of being a good driver and Gragson whether he can be a cup driver remains to be seen
RIP Stewart Haas Racing 2009-2024
Well at least they got the Xfinity Series championship despite an winless Cup Series season.
And with a fallen Cup Driver no less
I hope Stewart haas returns to greatness
This was a bad season, however I believe that this year will be a bounce back year. Josh Berry Rookie of the year and possibly will make the playoffs. 😊
Yeah, I just knew that you'd show the flip immediately after saying Preece's name
Which season was worse: 2021 or 2023?
If we’re saying strictly cup: I’ll say 2023 because at least SHR got 1 win with Almirola at New Hampshire.
If we’re expanding to cup and Xfinity, then I’d say 2021 because Custer won the championship and even Herbst got a win.
Either way, SHR looking more like the Guandong Tigers these past few seasons.
Also harvick had one of the best winless seasons in 2021 and in both seasons he was able to lead races in shit equipment. Really shows you how great of a driver Harvick truly is.
Happy new year excited for racing to be back next month
Josh and Noah work so good together. They will be fine
Their Cup program is gonna be absolute rubbish. Their Xfinity program is a different story....hell, I actually have Riley Herbst making the playoffs this year. I can't remember the last time I've done that.
SHR - Short of Horsepower Racing, outside of Harvick and the 4 car but will the 4 car still be competitive with Josh Berry? We'll see. SHR kinda feels like Robert Yates Racing in the 2000s along with Haas F1's struggles. SHR are still competitive on superspeedways and short tracks like Phoenix, Richmond and Martinsville.
How long until we get another Good Seasons episode? It’s been over three years since the last one.
Joe Gibbs is looking strong so far
I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears, but I have to come to the defense of my boy Aric Almirola a little, because the numbers don't tell the whole story. For the past three seasons, barring his win at New Hampshire in 2021, he has the craziest, most ridiculous, never-ending bad luck. Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of races where the 10 car was just out to lunch, but it seemed like every single time Aric was on his way to a decent finish, the racing gods would say "No, no, that's not allowed," and he would get, to put it delicately, nuts and bolts screwed. For example, you said SHR was "irrelevant" during the Coca-cola 600. Aric had been steadily working his way up through the field after starting mid-pack. He was pretty happy with the car, had just cracked the top-10...and then hit the wall on a restart. He was leading the spring Atlanta race...and then ran over debris, cut a tire, and crashed. He was the only car who could even remotely keep up with Truex at New Hampshire...and his pit crew left a wheel loose and he wrecked on the restart. He was on his way to a top-10 in the spring Darlington race...and got collected in a big late-race pileup. He had a shot to win the spring Talladega race...a big wreck started right next to him, just barely caught him in the right rear, and the toe link broke on the restart.
AND in the last ten races of the season, he scored more points than several playoff drivers did.
I know it wasn't a great season by stretch of the imagination. But if the clouds of bad luck that hung over the 10 team throughout all of 2021 and all of 2022 could have just GONE THE HELL AWAY after two relentless years, 2023 would have at least been a * decent * season for Aric. Heck, there were at least five races he had a pretty decent shot to win: Atlanta 1, Talladega 1, New Hampshire, and both Martinsville races. But that bad luck just had to rear it's ugly head every time.
Anyway...I'm sure no body cares, but...when you follow your favorite driver super closely every single race (to the point of barely even paying attention to everything else that's going on) the final stats never tell the whole story.
Glorious thumbnail btw
I went to Bristol night race last year with my playoff bracket looking like it was going to plan with Martin Truex going out in the first round.
Boy was I fucking wrong.
Can you do Sophomore Slumps: Austin Cindric 2023
Bad Seasons Ryan Preece 2020
I know it’s late, but in that season he had 0 top 5s, only 2 top 10s, an average finish of 24.3, and he ended up finishing in 29th in points with 8 DNFS.
👍👍
Haas f1 Team and SHR are on life support rn
Hahaha
Chase Briscoe is a nice guy and got a fist bump and photo with him at Daytona in August!
didnt want to watch this because ive been a preece fan since the early 2010s watching him dominate in modifieds in the north east, but glad i did. i was expecting the comments to be full of people saying he shouldnt be in cup. pleasantly surprised. i wish gibbs gave preece a better chance in the top levels of nascar
SHR's cup team didn't have a good season except Harvick's making the playoffs. The bright side of SHR is their Xfinity teams of Custer and Herbst. Custer ends up with the championship. Gragson, Berry, Briscoe and Preece will do good but its gonna take time to get back where Roush Fenway was struggling before Keselowski came onboard to get it back to winning again.
23XI Racing had a WAY Better season than SHR in the form of 2 Wins in Tyler Reddick's hands and both of their Toyotas scored Top 10 Points Finishes for the first time ever while SHR went winless for the first time ever and none of their Fords scored even 1 Top 10 Points Finish as a 4 Car Team
Had Havick been in say penske or rfk equipment if he stayed as a ford driver he could have probably had a few wins this season
Really tells you how bad SHR has become when Roush of all teams out rank you
I have hoping Noah but he just can't pull and do that stuff like he did last season when he got released from legacy motor Club. But I bet Josh, Berry and Gragson can turn this team around just a little by improve.
Noah isn't the same driver he was before getting suspended and asking for his release to work on himself and he has done all that
Imagine not being able to give Harvick anything better than a 25th place car at Bristol in an elimination race 🤡🤡🤡
That's all on Rodney with setups and he admitted to the fact that he is old school and doesn't know how to find speed with the next gen because he isn't an engineer
Rookie Josh Berry will end SHR’s losing streak in the Daytona 500. After that, Chase Briscoe will win the Chicago Street Course, the Charlotte Roval and Martinsville and Noah Gragson will the Bristol night race.
I sure hope so
I believe that Chase Briscoe has the talent and ability to be "the guy" for them. While the 14 was awful on intermediates this year, when they went to a short track or short oval type, they ran top 15. If they can get their act together on intermediates, then Briscoe will be in the playoff conversation. While I don't think they get over that hump this year, I'm looking at 2025 as Briscoe's breakout year
1:53 nothing against Harvick but more like holding the other 3 SHR cars back. No SHR driver will make the cup playoffs in 2024. Custer will go back to back tho
Man…. You did my man Preece dirty lol. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though. But anyone who’s watched this guy race over the years, at Stafford and other venues knows that he is one of the toughest wheelman in the country. To go up against Ted Christopher and Mike Stefanik among others who are crazy competitive in their own right. And beat those guys?! Man unless you’ve seen that type of racing for yourself it’s hard to put into words the talent of that style/discipline. There have been times where he was just plain off the pace I’m not blind to that but a lot of the times his good runs got over shadowed by either bad luck or other teammates with just better runs I see Preece and briscoe both having breakout seasons and hopefully taking SHR back to where they belong!
Good Seasons Hendrick Motorsport 2023 (Larson & Byron) or Bad Seasons HMS 23 (Chase/Bowman) when?
Do Good Seasons: Chris Buescher 2023
As much as I applaud them going after the "haters" I don't see how they are going to be any better than they were last year. Excluding Ryan Preece, they have two XFINITY hot shots and they have yet to prove themselves. They adopt an old school way of things, but they need to do something to keep up. They can get Penske cars running up front and they are Fords. These young drivers need good cars to dive because they are only as good as the car is and that is what points to the issue.

Bad season- Richard petty motorsports. I believe 01 or 02 when Kyle petty failed to qualify for half the season.
Hopefully the dark horse makes SHR competitive again. I don’t like the fact that a ford team could be dominant but as someone who’s been a fan of Stewart, I want to see the team do good
You know, it's funny if you think about it, but HAAS as a whole (I'm including the HAAS F1 Team is why I say this) really struggled across the board. Not sure what has happened, but it seems like, whether you look at the HAAS F1 side, or the Stewart/HAAS side, EVERYBODY struggled this past season, that's very unusual for a top tier organization!
Both the NASCAR and F1 teams sold their souls for their performance in 2018.
If Kevin Harvick would have won at Phoenix, Martinsville, Daytona or Talladega on his final season, but unfortunately struggling issues on the team affected a lot for him.
But I'm not really sure, how Noah Gragson and Josh Berry will do in Stewart-Haas Racing this year? Does the SHR team rebound this year or will it continue to be the same issues as the last year?
It would be awesome to see them rebound this season But don't be surprised if Stewart Haas Racing 2024 is Hendrick Motorsports 2018 all over again
Good Seasons: 23XI Racing 2023

I could see SHR get a win in 2024 but it would come from Chase Briscoe. Its weird to see that Chase is there longest tenured driver now.
I predict that this team will have the same downfall of Junior Johnson and Robert Yates. They can hardly field competitive cars anymore. That old school mentality of thinking doesn't let them adapt to the ever changing landscape of the racing world very well. And lastly, with sponsors leaving left and right, it leaves the team underfunded quite a bit, even though they still have a good number of sponsors and handshake deals they can make work for some of their teams, but not all of them. With the way things are going for them, this team will be gone by the end of the decade, if not sooner.
SHR is good on sponsorship and Only Lost sponsors they knew they would as they were tied to Kevin and Aric. Josh will have Harrison's and probably mobile 1 and gear wrench at minimum. Noah will have Bass pro shops and black rifle coffee and maybe Wendy's. I think Tony and zippy have realized old school isn't going to cut it with the next gen car and I know I seen they were or still are looking for senior vehicle dynamics engineer. Tony wants to win races
tony will be on most weekends this year due to him taking over his wife's top fuel dragster full time.
5:37 you know your commentary is great when i cant stop saying PREECE UPSIDE DOWN HES BARREL ROLLING THROUGH THE GRASS i cant stop help please
I would say that their message to the fans, about them coming back to perform at their best, has aged miserably... 😅
I feel that 2024 for SHR will be similar to 2018 Hendrick motorsports. They will struggle at first, but might rebound somewhat in the second half of the season.
What happened shr 😂😂😂
I will apologize to Cole Custer. He's a talented driver who I wrote off as a rich kid, so I was shocked to see him win the championship. You can't blame it on Custer.
It sucks to see Stewart-Haas Racing go down the same path as teams such as Morgan McClure Motorsports, Robert Yates Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing, D.E.I., and various other race winning teams falling off the cliff. Hopefully SHR can bounce back this year. I got Chase Briscoe winning 1 race.
I see him winning 2, Spring Texas and the Championship race, but yeah he's 16th in points with that. I have Berry 22nd Gragson 29th and Preece 30th. I foresee the new Dark Horse being a mixed bag for many teams, with both Amazing runs but Horrid inconsistency.
@@kimstmariejones6596I don’t see any of them getting above 21st in points frankly.
@@CJODell12 that's fair, but Briscoe had immensely good speed at Texas, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins.
Hey I got an idea! Instead of giving the 10 car to our Xfinity Champion, let’s give it to Noah Gragson!!!!! 🦗 🦗 🦗
Cole hadn't won the championship yet when they signed Noah and Cole doesn't bring sponsorship outside of Haas automation unlike Noah who has bass pro shop and black rifle coffee support and family money from Vegas. Lots of times driver deals are done way before the public even hears. Noah anything. I think Tony or whoever at SHR was talking to him after he got reinstated
Can you do good season Jaime McMurray 2010
Only someone named mr.sass would want to see gayme mcmurray videos. He’s definitely nascars most outwardly homosexual driver since #3 & his fans.
It's not just NASCAR where Haas has struggled as their F1 team has been absolutely terrible ever since they entered F1 in 2016. Sure there have been moments of success like Romain Grosjean finishing 4th at the Austrian GP & multiple points finishes, but this is also the same team that has seen likes of Nikita Mazepin (who is quite easily the worst driver to ever entered F1 in the last 40 years) drive for them. Then there is the whole Rich Energy scandal which is something that Gene Haas would rather forget about. Going into 2024, I think Haas will continue to be mediocre & will be competing with Williams to avoid finishing at the bottom of the F1 standings.
I don't think Gene cares about winning in F1 he just gets to advertise his company and SHR was bad before Tony became co owner
DNQ = did not qualify?
DQ as in disqualified.
@@johnhaas2523 DSQ, I think.
Maybe if they didn’t go all Ford, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
This season for them was even worse than 2021
Josh Berry and Ryan Preece knees will be giving out carrying that team on there backs and it still wont get them to the playoffs
Also enjoyed the Persona music in the background

I’ve got a hot take: Ever since Tony Stewart created SRX, Stewart-Haas racing has increasingly become bad.
Hahaha
Ownership and lack of leadership and involvement have been the problem with this team. Ford as a manufacturer has very little to do with it, however they have some faith in this team and certainly hasn’t helped.
False as there's not a lack of leadership as zippy is the leader and has been for long time even before Tony got into drag racing Tony has never been hands-on How do you not f****** know that. And Tony is just as involved as he's ever been and he knows what is going on So don't other f****** say fake news again Because that's what you're f****** uneducated f****** opinion about it unless they know the facts And Tony Stewart needs to start forcing videos like this to be removed and Black flags forced to go get a real job at Walmart for being so f****** stupid

I think it will be 2026 before shr is back
Let’s be honest: SHR has been off the ball ever since they switched to Ford.
Three wins total in 2017. Yes, 2018 was good, but a recently expanded Penske also won the championship with all three of their drivers winning a race, so you could make the case Ford as a whole was dominant that year.
2019, they fell behind with the Mustang. I don’t even know why everyone thinks 2020 was that good of a season for the team. Only one total win outside of Harvick’s 9 that year.
Then I feel like everything from 2021 onwards is pretty well documented…….
Funny. Because Haas sucks in F1 too. I think Gene needs to step back and rethink his commitments....
Tonys intondrag racing and haas is into f1
I don’t think they’ll come back next year. Briscoe will definitely the best one but everybody else will be mediocre, I think Josh Berry will be 20 to 25th car in the points. And Ryan Preece and Noah Gragson will probably have the same stats as last year, and I don’t think Noah is going to do much in the 10 car. And I think Stewart Hass will miss the playoffs and go winless for the second year in a row.
No matter what category of motorsport it is, Haas are still ass
Just a reminder peoppe wanted custer out for preece
One is champion
And
The other led a few laps at Martinsville and flipped was he even at the other 34 races
If haas wants to stop the bleeding, they never need to pull a move like that again get some good drivers in your cars and buy into them do what hendrick did a few years ago with thier young guns and maybe in a few years custer would have been up front but no we got preece
Haas is too busy running his last place f1 team rubbed off on the nascar team.
Unfortunately I see SHR having a Hendrick Motorsports 2018 2.0 style season. No wins nor any cars make the playoffs.
They are unnecessarily betting the house on themselves to succeed this year with their social media marketing, when I don't see that happening
Doesn't help that they've been one of the most penalized organizations in the Next Gen Era and Tony Stewart who has become somewhat disillusioned

FRM>SHR
I am a Hendrick fan. I don't root for any Ford driver at all. I hope SHR stays struggling.
