Rick Ware Racing
Rick Ware Racing (RWR) is an American motorsports team which currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series, American Flat Track, and NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series. The team has previously competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East, NTT IndyCar Series, and Asian Le Mans.
The organizational roots of RWR date back to Ware & Sons Racing with Rick and his father John Ware competing in the SCCA Series. They raced under the banner "Ware & Sons" as early as the 1960s when Rick went go-kart racing. Once of legal driving age, Rick joined his father John Ware in the SCCA and IMSA Series.
In 1983, Ware & Sons won Rookie of the Year in the California Sports Car Club with Rick behind the wheel. Ware & Sons with Rick as the driver went on to win several titles in that series, as well as the SCCA and IMSA Championship.
After a stint as a driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, Ware renamed the organization Ware Racing Enterprises in the 1990s and eventually Rick Ware Racing in 2004.
The team's shop was previously located in Thomasville, North Carolina. In 2020, they moved to Mooresville, North Carolina during the two months (March to May) that the series could not race due to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The move coincided with RWR buying Premium Motorsports, which added their No. 15 car as a fourth full-time car in their stable, causing the team to need more space. Before the 2023 season, RWR moved from Mooresville to a shop in Concord, North Carolina on the campus of RFK Racing, which the team began an alliance with in 2023. On April 9, RWR appointed Tommy Baldwin Jr. as competition director.
In 1998, Rick Ware attempted to qualify a Ware Racing Enterprises Ford in the Winston Cup event at Sonoma Raceway but failed to make the race.
Rick Ware Racing (RWR) had made a handful of attempts in the NASCAR Cup Series beginning in 2004 with Stanton Barrett in the No. 52. In 2005, the organization made attempts with Larry Gunselman, José Luis Ramírez and Derrike Cope. In 2006, Larry Gunselman, Steve Portenga, and Stanton Barrett in the No. 52 and No. 30 respectively.
In 2007, Barrett attempted to make the Daytona 500 only to miss the race by a single position.
