With involvement in seven different racing series that touch 26 states and seven countries, the sun never sets at Rick Ware Racing (RWR).<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rick Ware\u2019s eponymous team competes on a world tour, fielding entries in the NASCAR Cup Series, NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, HOT ROD Drag Week, Progressive American Flat Track (AFT), FIM World Supercross Championship, zMAX CARS Tour and eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series. It\u2019s a cornucopia of motorsports that covers ovals, road courses, dragstrips, dirt tracks, supercross tracks and sim speedways, involves racecars and motorcycles, and spans multiple genres, from grassroots to racing\u2019s pinnacle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a business reason we\u2019re involved in so many different forms of motorsports,\u201d said Ware, who formed RWR in 1995. \u201cOur partners don\u2019t just get one race team or one series. They get a platform that reaches different audiences in different markets throughout the year. That gives them more opportunities to engage\u00a0<\/a>customers, entertain guests and maximize their investment.\u201d<\/p>\n

RWR\u2019s international footprint begins Aug. 8 with the World Supercross season opener at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The global dirt-bike racing series hopscotches across five continents and features top riders competing on supercross-style circuits inside the stadiums of major cities. World Supercross\u2019 six-event schedule continues into mid-December, giving RWR a competitive presence every month of the year except January.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur schedule doesn\u2019t have much of an offseason, and that\u2019s by design,\u201d Ware said. \u201cEvery week, we\u2019re racing somewhere in the world, and that creates tremendous value for partners like\u00a0Super.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Rocket Doctor<\/a>. Whether we\u2019re at a NASCAR race, an NHRA event, a dirt track for AFT, inside a stadium for World Supercross or even online through eNASCAR, our partners have a consistent presence in front of passionate fans all year long.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>RWR\u2019s eclectic lineup deserves an eclectic ambassador. Enter Riki Rachtman. The former MTV host is best known for fronting Headbangers Ball from 1990 to 1995 before combining his passions for heavy metal, hard rock and motorsports as host of the \u201cRacing Rocks\u201d radio show for nearly 20 years. Today, Rachtman traverses the United States on his one-man show, \u201cOne Foot in the Gutter,\u201d where in addition to his true rock-and-roll tales, redemption stories and behind-the-curtain stories from the music scene of the \u201880s and \u201890s, he mixes in racing, specifically from the array of RWR personalities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent my life chasing great stories, whether it was backstage at rock clubs, behind the microphone or at racetracks, and Rick Ware Racing has stories everywhere you look,\u201d said Rachtman, who co-founded the legendary 1980s Cathouse Hollywood nightclub on Los Angeles\u2019 Sunset Strip with Faster Pussycat frontman Taime Downe. \u201cRWR isn\u2019t a team that does just one thing. One weekend it\u2019s NASCAR, the next it\u2019s NHRA, then motorcycles, drag cars or sim racing and, sometimes, they\u2019re all competing on the same weekend. I get to pull back the curtain, introduce people to the personalities behind it all, and show fans why this\u00a0<\/a>organization is unlike anything else in motorsports.\u201d<\/p>\n
