NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Rick Ware Racing(RWR) had made a handful of attempts in the NASCAR Cup Series beginning in 2004 with Stanton Barrett in the #52. In 2005, the organization made attempts with Larry Gunselman, Jose' Luis Ramirez and Derrike Cope. In 2006 Larry Gunselman, Steve Portenga, Donnie Neuenberger and Stanton Barrett in the #52 and #30 respectively.
In 2007, Stanton Barrett attempted to make the Daytona 500 only to miss the race by a single position.
In 2011, Rick Ware Racing formed an alliance with the #37 Front Row Motorsports/Max Q Motorsports Sprint Cup Team. American LeMans Series driver Tomy Drissi qualified for the Infineon Cup race, but NASCAR would not approve him for competition; Chris Cook drove the 37 to a 27th place finish.
For 2012, Rick Ware Racing again formed an alliance with Max Q Motorsports to run Timmy Hill for the majority of the season in the #37 to vie for Rookie of the Year honors. After Mike Wallace failed to make Daytona, Hill DNQ'd the next race, but qualified in Vegas; he finished 42nd after a crash. When the team missed five races in six attempts, they were outside the top 35 and Ware moved Hill back to Nationwide, ending the partnership.

Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or series:
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
