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:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
