Stewart-Haas Racing faces a challenging season, with rumors of retirements and sponsorships causing a stir in the NASCAR community.
Aric Almirola's Retirement Rumors
Aric Almirola, the #10 driver, was expected to retire after the 2022 season. However, he signed a contract with Tony Stewart, extending his stay at SHR until 2024. Now, there are whispers of Almirola retiring at the end of this season. The veteran driver has not confirmed or denied these rumors, leaving everyone in suspense.
The Replacement Dilemma
Tony Stewart is in a difficult position with Kevin Harvick retiring and his $110 billion sponsor Anheuser-Busch leaving at the end of the year. While Josh Berry is set to replace Harvick, Almirola's situation is more complex. Without any confirmation from Almirola, Stewart cannot approach other drivers for the #10 car.
Noah Gragson, previously suspended due to social media antics, is now a free agent and a potential candidate for the ride. NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass suggests, "Noah Gragson is certainly a candidate for it...he has become a candidate for that ride."
