Career Best Finish at Daytona Ware finished fourth in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway Saturday night.
Impact The driver of the No. 15 Ford started deep in the field and would survive the seven cautions, many of them multi-car crashes that would thin the field. Ware would lineup in good shape on the overtime restart and battle among the leaders. The veteran driver could not get to the lead, but Ware would hold off Ty Gibbs to secure his first-career Top-5 finish and best-career finish in his 103rd Cup Series start.

Making NASCAR return at Dega Ware (suspension) will drive the No. 15 Ford for Rick Ware Racing in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega, Austin Konenski of Motorsports Wire reports.
Impact Ware will make his first NASCAR start since being suspended on April 10, 2023 on charges of assault by strangulation and assault causing serious injury. Those charges were dropped in December and Ware was reinstated by NASCAR. Ware drove the No. 51 for RWR for a few seasons, but that ride has since been taken over by Justin Haley full-time. The No. 15 entry has been driven mostly by Kaz Grala this year. Ware has the only top-10 finish in RWR history which came back in 2022 when he finished sixth at Daytona. It's unclear how many more races Ware will compete in this year.

Impact Plans are coming into focus at Rick Ware Racing. Grala was recently announced as a part-time driver for the team and it's expected he'll be joined by Ware in the No. 15 Ford. The young driver is currently rebuilding his sponsorship portfolio after his recent suspension, and it's taking some time to put together. Ware competed in seven events last season in the team's No. 51 entry.

Expected to return for Las Vegas Ware (ankle) is on the entry list for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Impact Ware did not race in last week's race at the Charlotte Roval due to an ankle injury he sustained in a hard crash at Texas. Ware raced at Talladega the next week, but decided to let J.J. Yeley take the reigns at the Roval due to the added footwork needed to drive at a road course. With no more road courses in the last four races, Ware should be clear to pilot the No. 51 car the rest of the season.

Impact Ware had one of the hardest crashes we have seen this year and had to be helped from his car following the accident. Ware sustained injuries to his lower body that have forced him to use crutches to move around. He was able to race last week at Talladega, but going to a road course that requires a lot more footwork, Ware felt it was best to step aside this week. J.J. Yeley will pilot the No. 51 car in Sunday's race at the Charlotte Roval. Expect Ware to return next week at Las Vegas when we return to an oval.
