MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Rick Ware Racing will field a NASCAR Pinty’s Series entry this year for three-time series champion Andrew Ranger.
Ranger, from Roxton Pond, Quebec, is one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR Pinty’s Series history. He owns series records for wins (22) and poles (22) and won the inaugural NASCAR Pinty’s Series championship in 2007. He added two more championships in 2009 and 2019. He’s also competed in each of NASCAR’s three national divisions.
“I am very excited to be back in the Pinty Series racing for a championship again with Rick Ware Racing,” said Ranger, who will drive the No. 51 entry for the team. “I sat out last year because of COVID, and can’t wait to get back to my winning ways this year. I look forward to working with Rick and his team and making this a successful year.”
“When the opportunity arose to partner with Andrew in the Pinty’s Series, it was a total no brainer,” said Rick Ware Racing owner Rick Ware. “We want to continue to expand our racing programs to multiple disciplines across the world. Andrew is a world class driver, and we look forward to competing at the highest level for the Pinty’s Series championship.”
In addition to running full-time in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series, Ranger will also compete at New Hampshire Motor Speedway next weekend in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, piloting the Rick Ware Racing No. 17. The team plans to make a sponsorship announcement next week for Ranger’s Xfinity Series and Pinty’s Series programs.
