| Clint Bowyer is 20/1 to win at Richmond Saturday night. |
Why is SHR a successful race team?
“You just don’t have turnover. When you really think about that and look at the employees, they’re employees who wanted to go over there when it was established with Tony (Stewart) and they’re still there today. That speaks volumes about the ownership, leadership, management, all the way down to the drivers and partners on those cars. It really just feels like family. It’s pretty at ease. It’s easy to be an employee there. You want to be an employee there. When you go to the shop, you enjoy the conversation. For me, it feels like more than half of the employees are dirt racers. They either have a kid racing Modified or helping someone with a Late Model. They’re racers.”
Is that a credit to Tony Stewart?
“It’s a credit to him. Everybody had the confidence in a champion going over there. He took a big step going over there and forming his half of Stewart-Haas. It’s a big credit. You can’t leave out the boss, Gene Haas. Everybody knows he steps up whenever needed. The conversation with Gene is, ‘When are you going to win? How are going to win? What do you need to win more?’ It’s never anything about anything other than that. He’s so competitive. You see it in his business practice. You see it in F1. It’s so cool to see those cars make some noise over there. That’s on a global scale. The guy is doing it over there just like he does it in our world.”
