Rick Ware Racing (RWR) is partnering with Costa Oil – 10 Minute Oil Change, one of the fastest-growing models in the quick-lube space, for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway.
The company, whose headquarters are located in Hanover, Pennsylvania, will serve as the co-primary sponsor of the No. 51 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, driven by Cody Ware, in the Cup Series’ annual trip to the 2.5-mile speedway.
“Working with the RWR family is more than a sponsorship – it’s a strategic partnership built on shared vision and mutual growth,” said Costa Kapothanasis, CEO of Costa Oil. “Rick Ware has built an organization that understands how to create business value in a competitive environment.”
Costa Oil has been integrating itself within Rick Ware Racing this season, serving as a primary sponsor in select CARS Tour Pro Late Model events and NASCAR Xfinity Series events with Carson Ware, and now jumping into the NASCAR Cup Series as a co-primary sponsor of Cody Ware.
“We won with RWR and Cars Ware in a Pro Late Model on the CARS Tour, and it’s a relationship that has grown with Carson in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and now with Cody in the NASCAR Cup Series. This synergy is what excites us the most.”
Founded in 2013, Costa Oil strives to serve as America’s premier choice for quick automotive servicing. Using top-of-the-line products backed by exceptional customer service, including complimentary fluid top-offs and tire-pressure checks, Costa Oil combines short wait times with quality, allowing both individual customers and fleet managers to get back on the road quickly.
“The NASCAR Cup Series is the pinnacle of American motorsport, and being aligned with RWR gives us access to a business ecosystem that shares our obsession with speed, precision, and results,” Kapothanasis added. “We’re not just putting our name on a car – we’re investing in relationships that help drive long-term success.”
In addition to serving as the co-primary sponsor of the No. 51 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in Sunday’s event, Costa Oil will also serve as the primary sponsor of the No. 35 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Xfinity Series event, driven by Carson Ware, for Joey Gase Motorsports.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Costa Oil to the RWR family for their home race at Pocono,” said Rick Ware, owner of Rick Ware Racing. “They’re a fast-growing company that’s changing the game in the quick-lube space by focusing on speed, convenience, and customer care – all values that we live by in motorsports. This partnership isn’t just about logos on a car – it’s about building something meaningful with a brand that shares our drive to grow, compete and deliver results.”
Sunday’s The Great American Getaway 400 at Pocono Raceway will take place on June 22 at 2:00 PM ET with coverage on Prime Video, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
