Stewart-Haas Racing switching to Ford in 2017

Today it was announced that in 2017 Stewart-Haas Racing will be switching to Ford. Although the change won’t be complete until 2017 you can expect it to have a fantasy NASCAR impact this year. From a long term perspective I think the switch will prove good for the organization because they’ll likely receive more factory support ($$$). If that wasn’t the case they wouldn’t be making the change.

Fantasy Spin: I think this will have a negative impact on Stewart-Haas Racing in 2016. They are heavily dependent on Hendrick Motorsports and I think the level of help they receive will likely be reduced. In terms of performance meetings between those organizations you can likely expect Hendrick Motorsports will be keeping upcoming technology secrets to themselves.
