Vote now: What do you think of Stewart-Haas Racing's switch to Ford?
After Wednesday's news conference at the Ford Technical Center in Concord, North Carolina, it's obvious that Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer are excited about Stewart-Haas Racing's conversion in 2017 to Ford.
SHR, which is co-owned by Stewart and Gene Haas, is making the switch in manufacturers after having run Chevrolets since the company's inception in 2008.
Since it began running full-time teams in what is now the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series in 2009, SHR has had tremendous success in the Chevy brand -- winning a total of 36 races and two championships. Stewart won the 2011 title and Kevin Harvick won it in 2014.
So is it a wise move to switch manufacturers? Or is it smart, considering all the resources Ford Motor Co. no doubt has promised SHR?
We know what Stewart, who retired as a full-time NASCAR Premier Series driver at the end of last season, thinks. And we know his replacement in the No. 14 SHR Ford, Clint Bowyer, thinks.
