Tony Stewart's SHR employees lived up to the Las Vegas spirit as they were found in a hilarious gambling shenanigan at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Moreover, renowned WWE stars Rey Mysterio and Braun Strowman were also witnessed cherishing the on-track antics.

The South Point 400 was held in Las Vegas, renowned as the gambling capital. Stewart-Haas Racing's personnel indulged in a miniature gambling prank. It included the Cup Series drivers Josh Berry, Noah Gragson, Chase Briscoe, and Ryan Preece to pit crews, crew chiefs, and engineers.

A pint-sized slot machine did rounds in Tony Stewart's team's paddock and NASCAR's paddock, with many trying luck at getting the winning pattern. Many lost and many won. Gragson, however, outsmarted the slot machine and "hacked" it to get triple 7s.

The hilarious atmosphere during the 34th Cup Series race weekend prompted SHR to share the moment with their fans, wherein famed wrestlers Rey Mysterio and Braun Strowman also gave a shot at their luck.

Following is the hysterical on-the-go gambling video which lightened the strenuous Cup Series atmosphere.

Tony Stewart-led organization announced earlier this year that they would terminate their NASCAR operations after the 2024 season wraps up. Notably, Gene Haas, the co-owner, has retained one charter for his upcoming team, Haas Factory Team, with defending Xfinity Series champion Cole Custer behind the wheel on a full-time schedule.

A look into how Tony Stewart's driver performed at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Amid SHR's final NASCAR season, Chase Briscoe was the lone driver to have entered the playoffs. However, mechanical issues at Charlotte Roval plagued the #14 Ford driver's run and he got eliminated from the Round of 12.

The South Point 400 witnessed Noah Gragson outperform his teammates by a significant gap. While Ryan Preece, Josh Berry, and Chase Briscoe finished 22nd, 24th, and 26th, respectively, Gragson's #10 Ford settled in 18th place.

It's worth mentioning that Preece was Tony Stewart's slowest driver in the playoffs, clocking the 32nd fastest speed, but he rallied back to surpass Berry and Briscoe. Gragson stood as the fastest qualifier among his SHR teammates and didn't lose his domination.

Amid the team's imminent closure, Briscoe has inked a contract with Joe Gibbs Racing and will replace Martin Truex Jr. in the #19 Toyota. Gragson has secured his spot at Front Row Motorsports, while Berry will be seen taming Wood Brothers Racing's lone Cup car as Harrison Burton will move to Xfinity Series for AM Racing.

Ryan Preece's future, however, is yet to be ascertained. He hasn't secured a deal with any team thus far but is linked with Brad Keselowski's RFK Racing. If Keselowski's team fields a third Cup car in the 2025 season, the unsigned SHR driver might find himself racing for the 2012 Cup Series champion.
