MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Costa Oil 10-Minute Oil Change, one of the fastest-growing models in the quick-lube space, has joined Rick Ware Racing as its primary sponsor for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Iowa Speedway in Newton.
With a national footprint of more than 65 locations, Costa Oil specializes in no-appointment, drive-through, 10-minute oil changes. The brand will be featured prominently on the No. 51 Ford Mustang Dark Horse driven by Cody Ware during the Iowa Corn 350.
“We’re thrilled to be back on track as a primary sponsor of the No. 51 car at Iowa Speedway with Cody Ware and Rick Ware Racing,” said Costa Kapothanasis, CEO, Costa Oil. “We won with RWR and Carson 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 collaboration isn’t just about visibility on race day – it’s about reinforcing the Costa Oil brand across the country. Rick Ware has been instrumental in delivering value beyond the paint scheme. His commitment to creating long-term, strategic partnerships has elevated this sponsorship into something much bigger than a logo placement.
“Every time our car hits the track, it builds awareness that directly benefits our franchisees and lends even more credibility to us as we continue scaling into a nationally recognized brand. It’s a true alliance.”
“Our initial collaboration with Carson Ware in the Xfinity Series was more than a marketing opportunity – it helped set the tone internally for what this partnership means,” said Brandon Cornelius, Chief Operating Officer, Costa Oil. “When our team gathered earlier this year at Pocono to support RWR at that race, it brought a renewed sense of pride and culture throughout the organization. Now, taking that next step to be a full primary at Iowa, it’s the kind of milestone that feels like a dream realized for all of us at Costa Oil.”
