Schatz, who had been with TSR since 2008 and won eight series titles, was replaced by Kerry Madsen in August 2025. Stewart expressed deep frustration with how the split was perceived publicly, emphasizing that the criticism was unwarranted and hurtful, especially given their 18-year relationship. He highlighted the challenge of building a professional racing program and dismissed critics who claim to know how it should be run without firsthand experience."It just, it's really frustrating and disappointing to have to live through that part of it for no reason, for people that just literally don’t have a clue what it takes to build a program. You know, if they're so smart I'd like to see them on a program, you know? It'd be really fun to watch them step on their d*ck and suffer, and think they know all the answers of what it takes to a professional race team," said Stewart during a Q&A session with Flo Racing.Stewart elaborated on the significant differences between his drag racing team and his previous stock car racing experiences, explaining that drag racing races last mere seconds (around 3.5 seconds) compared to NASCAR races, which last hours with multiple pit stops. This fundamental difference impacts the way the teams operate and prepare, requiring intense focus on extremely short performances rather than endurance over long distances.
