It was good to see some fist pumping, “No. 1” signs and air guns at work at Stewart-Haas Racing on Friday after the heartbreaking news about co-owner and competitor Tony Stewart this week.
Friday was SHR’s season kickoff, and no race team does anything without a little competition — in this case a pit crew throwdown.
