New Sheriff in the Sprint Cup garage

Eight races into the 2014 NASCAR season and it's clear who the best team in the garage is. Stewart-hass-racing.

 Stewart hass has won 37.5% of the races so far with wins coming from kevin harvick at Phoenix and Darlington and a thrilling win from Kurt Busch at martinsville over 6 time champ Jimmie Johnson. 

When StewartHass courted Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch they sold them
On the idea of being  in Hendrick equipment. Hendrick chassis. Hendrick
Engines.

 Harvick and Busch are already proven talented drivers in NASCAR, Kurt bush is even a champion. Due to some self image issues, some
Behavior issues, and self control issues Busch lost his ride at Penske and bounced around with some
Low funded teams. He even made the chase last year with Furniture Row Racing show casing what a talent he is. So when the call came from Gene Hass to drive at Stewart hass he jumped at it because he knew what he could do to in good equipment. Then he went out and beat Jimmie Johnson who he called along with jeff Gordon the "king at martinsvile". Hendrick engines. Hendrick chassis.

Harvick had a different path to SHR. He proved his talent and succes with Richard Childress winning races and competing for championships. But it seemed he could never get over the hump. Until now. Harvick has two wins already and has been fast every race. Without some mechanical issuess who knows how many wins he would have 3, 4? He is the best car in the garage right now and it's no contest.

It seems there is finally a team to
Compete with the Hendrick "pretty boys" as Kurt has called them in the past. Hendrick has only one win this season, Junior's Daytona 500 win. Jeff Gordon leads the points and has been surprisingly fast at many tracks,but he is winless. 

Johnson has been fast but not as fast as he usually is and he hasn't won a race either. Kasey Kahne has been mediocre alll year who knows when he'll win. Rick Hendrick is getting beat at his own game.

He should be worried. The Hendrick pretty boys are being outrun.

 Did I mention Tony Stewart hasn't won yet? God forbid when he does and he will win. 

There's a new sherrif in the NASCAR garage. It's SHR. Get used to it.
