NASCAR's Tony Stewart announced yesterday that he will be leaving Joe Gibbs Racing for Haas CNC Racing next season. Stewart the driver of the Home Depot #20 car for his entire Nascar Cup Series career is making a move similar to Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s of last season.
Gibbs Racing last year changed car manufacturers from Chevrolet to Toyota and Stewart will no longer be racing with Toyota under his new team for next year. He will be returning to the Chevrolet racing family. This will leave Kyle Busch as the only all-star Toyota driver for next year.
Now, my take. I think this is a good move. Stewart and Joe Gibbs Racing have had their differences over the years and it is good to get a fresh start. However, there will be some difficulties. Haas CNC Racing does not have the money that Gibbs had, but Stewart will be part owner of the team. We will get to see first hand on how much Tony Stewart knows the sport of racing.
