Oxnard, CA - To commemorate the historic partnership between celebrated NASCAR driver Tony Stewart and Haas Automation founder Gene Haas - co-owners of Stewart-Haas Racing - Haas Automation is building a Limited-Edition Tony Stewart VF-2SS VMC. This is the first time in the company's history that Haas Automation has designed and built a special-edition machine tool.
The Limited-Edition Tony Stewart Haas VF-2SS features a special racing paint scheme, and sports decals of Tony's signature and the No. 14 of his NASCAR ride. To complete the look, the Stewart-Haas Racing logo is etched in stainless steel below the machine's control pendant. "The Tony Stewart VF-2SS provides legendary Haas performance in a great looking, race-inspired package," said Gene Haas. Each machine also comes equipped with a programmable coolant nozzle, 300 psi through-tool coolant and an automatic chip auger.
Haas Automation will build only 75 of these specially designed machines during 2009. Each will feature an engraved and numbered aluminum plaque personally signed by Tony Stewart, and include a certificate of authenticity. Haas Automation will also donate a portion of the proceeds from each sale to charity. These unique machines may be purchased only through an authorized Haas Factory Outlet.
Tony Stewart is the driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The two-time Sprint Cup Series champion is co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing (Kannapolis, N.C.), which also fields teammate Ryan Newman's No. 39 U.S. Army Chevrolet. Tony Stewart currently is number one in points going into race number 15 of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Gene Haas is the president and CEO of Haas Automation, Inc. (Oxnard, CA), and co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing. Gene Haas has been involved in NASCAR since 2002, when he formed Haas CNC Racing to compete in the Cup Series. He is active philanthropically through the Gene Haas Foundation.
