Kevin Harvick has accused Ford of undermining Stewart-Haas Racing to favor its other teams, asserting that Ford prefers its cars to win over SHR’s. Harvick, a big figure at SHR during his NASCAR Cup Series career, offered this insight following his departure after the 2023 season and amid SHR’s struggling 2024 performance.
The 2024 season for SHR has been a challenging one, with Chase Briscoe assuming the role of leading driver after Harvick’s exit. However, Briscoe managed a vital victory at Darlington, securing a playoff spot and providing a significant morale boost to a team that needed it.
Despite this achievement, SHR announced they would close their operations at the end of the season, marking a premature end to their competitive journey.
On his show, “Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour,” Harvick showed his excitement for Briscoe’s win, specifically praising SHR’s Competition Director, Greg Zipadelli.
