NASCAR: Kevin Harvick retirement worried for rival group?

With Kevin Harvick resigning, Stewart-Haas Racing as of now have an open seat for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, and they could wind up with two.

The offseason between the 2023 and 2024 NASCAR Cup Series seasons as Naver news shared is set to turn into the seventh in eight years during which Stewart-Haas Racing make a driver change, as 2014 boss Kevin Harvick affirmed recently that he is set to resign when the 2023 season closes.

Stewart-Haas Racing don't precisely have a lot of new to the scene Cup Series-prepared possibilities seeking them (or for any Portage association) in the lower series, and Harvick's No. 4 Passage may not be the main seat they need to fill for 2024. Aric Almirola, whose underlying arrangement was to resign after the 2022 season, picked to get back to the No. 10 Passage for "2023 and then some", yet his new arrangement supposedly permits him to resign after 2023 assuming he decides to do as such.

In any event, having made driver changes after six of the last seven seasons, Stewart-Haas Racing have never made more than one change during that range. Could losing two drivers — or even only one — after the 2023 season bring about them making a blockbuster marking?

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series free specialist class is stacked, yet there is one group specifically that ought to consider Kevin Harvick's retirement.

That group is Trackhouse Racing Group. In his most memorable season with the Justin Imprints and Pitbull-possessed association, Ross Chastain acquired the group their initial two triumphs and their most memorable season finisher billet, and he made it the entire way to the Title 4, wrapping sprinter up in the standings behind Group Penske's Joey Logano.

He isn't accounted for to have an arrangement to contend past 2024, and if that keeps on being the situation, there is next to no excuse to accept he will not be getting a few calls from different groups.

One of those "different groups" is a triumphant association as of now with an affirmed opportunity.

Obviously, the most probable situation is that Chastain re-signs with Trackhouse Racing Group, as that would seem, by all accounts, to be to the greatest advantage of all gatherings.

In any case, while it's not really concerning, Harvick's retirement, particularly coming as soon as it did, could make generally a need to get a move on for Trackhouse Racing Group to finish an arrangement to hold 30-year-old Alva, Florida local.

As referenced, there are right now a few other strong drivers set to stir things up around town specialist market after the 2023 season — Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., and Alex Bowman to give some examples of the enormous ones.

However, regarding a blend old enough, ability, and potential, Chastain is the one driver of the gathering who should be secured for the long stretch before he moves away.

Jimmie Johnson actually could drive the No. 48 vehicle in 2023

A second continuous Indy 500 bid for Johnson would need to arrive in a fifth Chip Ganassi Racing section, as the group have previously started to fill what was once his full-time passage, naming Marcus Armstrong as the driver of the street and road course races. Double cross Indy 500 victor Takuma Sato has for quite some time been supposed to drive the vehicle in the oval races.

In any case, the vehicle has been renumbered from No. 48 to No. 11, really intending that assuming Johnson chooses to get back to the Indy 500 in a fifth passage, he would most likely have one more opportunity to drive the No. 48 Honda. Tony Kanaan, who drove the group's fifth passage in the 2022 Indy 500, is set to go after Bolt 맥스벳 McLaren in the current year's running of the "Best Scene in Racing".

Maybe holding up Johnson's choice is the way that the Elite player Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, which is apparently high on his list of things to get for the 2023 season, is booked to happen on that very end of the week as Indy 500 qualifying.

Carvana have previously dedicated to supporting him in anything that races he needs to contend in consistently, so it will be fascinating to see what he chooses.

NASCAR: Stewart-Haas Racing could be dealing with a more pressing issue

Kevin Harvick is set to resign after the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, however Stewart-Haas Racing might in any case need to roll out an extra improvement. 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick reported recently that the 2023 season is set to be his last, affirming bits of hearsay that had been coursing for a long while.

Harvick, the most seasoned dynamic full-time driver in the game at 47 years old, has been contending full-time in the Cup Series since taking over for Dale Earnhardt at Richard Childress Racing following his demise on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 at Daytona Worldwide Speedway... CHECK HERE 

The Bakersfield, California local left Richard Childress Racing after the 2013 season and joined Stewart-Haas Racing, where he has contended from that point onward.

Harvick's retirement implies that Stewart-Haas Racing should track down a trade for him in the driver's seat of the No. 4 Portage, which won't be not difficult to do considering the general absence of genuine possibilities right now vieing for Stewart-Haas Racing and Passage in the lower NASCAR public series. His choice likewise proceeds with a pattern, as Stewart-Haas Racing have changed their driver setup after six of the last seven NASCAR Cup Series seasons.

Most as of late, they declared after the 2022 season that save driver Ryan Preece would supplant Cole Custer in the driver's seat of the No. 41 Passage, with Custer being downgraded back to the Xfinity Series.

That pattern is set to become seven of the last eight seasons following 2023. Yet, during this momentum seven-year stretch, they have made something like one change to their driver setup in an offseason. That could change in front of 2024.

Before the 2022 season started, Aric Almirola declared that he would be resigning once it finished, however during the actual season, he adjusted his perspective and marked another arrangement to stay in the driver's 원엑스벳 seat of the No. 10 Passage for "2023 and then some".

Nonetheless, Almirola's new arrangement purportedly contains a proviso that permits him to resign after the 2023 season assuming he decides to do as such, and that implies that Stewart-Haas Racing could have to change half of their driver setup before the 2024 season after possibly losing two veterans around the same time.

This, obviously, accepts that Chase Briscoe stays with the group in the driver's seat of the No. 14 Portage and Preece has a sufficiently strong year in 2023 to legitimize remaining in the No. 41 Passage.

To whom will they turn on the off chance that they need to supplant not one yet two drivers in 2024?

Preece was at first viewed as an obvious choice to supplant Almirola, however they have proactively called upon him to supplant Custer, a choice that one of the two group proprietors didn't at first concur with.
