SHR is actively looking to sell charters according to latest reports

According the most recent reports from, Bob Pockrass, Stewart Haas Racing is seriously planning to downsize. They are hoping to do this by selling their charters in 2025, and they would be allowed to do this as their Ford deal will end this season. They would be looking to get back to a sustainable structure before getting a new deal.

The biggest team that is at least listening to offers to sell charters is Stewart-Haas Racing. Currently, a four-car team, the organization has not renewed its Ford deal yet for next year, and it has sent prospective buyers’ information on what it would take to purchase a charter. Bob Pockrass reported via Fox Sports.

A merger between the teams seems an ideal option as it would allow both of them to have more resources and people at their disposal to have a new development path. It might also help SHR to keep hold of its charters somehow, but the same time it’s a major blow as well for the iconic Ford team.
