Well it's a very interesting set up they have at SHR. You have Danica Patrick, (who needs no mention) Kevin Harvick, (for 2014) Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch. (for 2014) Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch need to adjust to a new team and new teammates. Having three superstar drivers on one team will be a sight to see. Danica can also do well, since she is slowly progressing. [see Danica Patrick report] So i would say that things are looking up for SHR. In a worst case scenario, Busch will get mad at Stewart and bang up their cars. [like he did in the past] Harvick will just race horribly and only make SHR look worse. Patrick will wreck way to many cars and cost Stewart a lot of money in repairs. Finally what if Tony Stewart can't recover from his injury and will only be an owner? (not likely to happen) This is the WORST case scenario and likely won't happen. All luck goes to Stewart-Haas Racing for 2014
The additions put some pressure off Danica next season. People will expect her to suck, but will wonder how Kurt and Harvick will adapt to the new team.
Stewarts team expanded to three cars this year, and for the first time all his cars did not look very good all season compared to past seasons. Thats because of all the time and effort it takes to get more resources for a 3rd team. It always seems to happen when teams add another car that they often have a bad year. Thats why Joe Gibbs took for ever to add a 3rd team, and still hasn't added a 4th yet even though they've wanted to for awhile. RCR has been trying to add a 4th for years but each time they add it everyone at RCR has a bad year.
Stewarts team isn't even stable yet at 3 cars, and now they want to add a 4th? I'm a little concerned about their success next season. Too many questionmarks. One whole new team, and another driver with a new crew chief, and then Stewart who was out for 1/3 of this season, losing experience in the new Gen 7 car that all the other teams are getting.
