After extreme heat and record television numbers at Talladega, the Rick Ware Racing Team heads down the road to one of the most famed speedways in NASCAR history, Darlington SC. Named the “Lady in Black” many years ago, Darlington Speedway is known for extreme speed, brutal tire wear and a catch fence that seems to reach out and grab the cars as they pass by within inches each lap.

Returning to the 15 car for RWR this weekend is veteran Blake Koch. After stepping in middle of the way through the race to help ailing Timmy Hill at Talladega, Blake has his sights set on running up front at Darlington. “Last weekend was tough with the rainout but I was really happy to be able to help Timmy when he had the flu. I just want to be a team player and help everyone involved. We picked up a great sponsor with Dr. Gregory Sexton and Capital Plastic Surgery so we are going to Darlington to turn heads and get a top notch finish for the sponsor and the whole team!”, stated Blake.

#41 – Poynt.com Car

Piloting the 41 Poynt.com Car will be reigning Rookie of the Year, Timmy Hill. “I really enjoy Darlington. Being challenged is a good thing and Darlington is definitely a challenge. I love tracks that wear out the tires and make you have to slide the car around a bunch. I grew up sliding cars around and won a bunch of races along the way so hopefully my experience can show through at Darlington with a solid finish!”, explained Timmy.

Television Rating Records

ABC's live telecast of the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway on Saturday, May 5, drew the network's third-largest audience ever for a Nationwide Series race. An average of 3,501,477 people watched the race, earning a 2.3 rating, according to the Nielsen Company!

Heading into a 6 week in row stretch, the Rick Ware Racing Team is loaded and ready for the second short track race of the year, Richmond VA. This .75 mile track proves to be difficult not only on the drivers but on the crew chiefs as well. With an increasing radius corner on one end and decreasing on the other, not to mention different degrees of banking the entire way around, Richmond requires a certain degree of compromise in the setup and steady hands on the wheel.

“Richmond is a tricky track but a fun one to watch and be involved with. Our entire Poynt.com team is super excited about going short track racing. Timmy grew up racing short tracks and has a great feel for the car so this should be a good weekend for us.”, stated team owner Rick Ware. The team will roll out 3 cars this weekend with the 15 driven by Blake Koch, 41 piloted by Timmy Hill and 75 driven by veteran Scott Riggs.

“I really enjoyed racing at Richmond last year and we showed a lot of speed out there. We didn't qualify as well as we should have but come race time we were a top 10 car with no question. Rick and the Poynt.com guys really give me a car I can save brakes and tires with while moving forward in traffic. That is a hard thing to do at a track like this but these guys are really good!”, stated driver Timmy Hill.

Look for all of the action this Friday night on ESPN2 as the Nationwide Series conquers Richmond under the lights!

After a well needed rest and 2 weeks off, the Rick Ware Racing Team headed to Texas Motor Speedway with 2 well prepared cars and a eye on the ultimate prize. Unfortunately luck would not be on their side this go around. Early on their team was tested with a broken shock and cut tire in the first practice for the #15 Poynt.com car driven by Timmy Hill. “Timmy did an amazing job keeping the car out of the wall and minimizing the damage. These cars are close to 170 mph in the middle of the corner where the failure occurred so I honestly don't know how he didn't wreck. We are very fortunate to have Timmy behind the wheel and keeping the 15 out of trouble.”, stated Rick Ware. The remainder of practice would be uneventful along with qualifying but there would be no rest for this team during the main event at Texas Motor Speedway. Early in the race Timmy ran over debris in the racetrack and cut another tire, forcing the team to make repairs under green and causing the Poynt.com car to go multiple laps down. The #41 car driven by Blake Koch stayed out of trouble and ran super competitive times while working his way into the top 15. However, during a restart, Cup Champion Kurt Busch hit Blake Koch in the left rear sending his car into the inside fence and ending his night. The team will focus on fixing damage from Texas and preparing for next race on the schedule, the tricky .75 mile Richmond International Raceway race. Stay tuned for more action and behind the scenes action!
