History and development

The team was created through a partnership that brought together Gene Haas's racing operations and Tony Stewart's interests as a driver‑owner. From its early seasons the organization invested in technical staff, race shops and development programs to build competitive entries for national series. Over time it expanded its operations to field multiple full‑time entries and to support drivers moving up from lower divisions.
