The Californer/10321850

NEWTON, Iowa - Californer -- Costa Oil – 10 Minute Oil Change, one of the fastest-growing brands in the quick-lube industry, is proud to announce its role as the primary sponsor of the No. 51 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Series event at Iowa Speedway. The car, driven by Cody Ware and fielded by Rick Ware Racing (RWR), will compete in the Iowa Corn 350, airing live Sunday at 3:30 p.m. EDT on USA Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

With a national footprint of over 65 locations, Costa Oil is known for its drive-through, no-appointment oil changes completed in just 10 minutes. The sponsorship reinforces the brand's continued commitment to growth, visibility, and community engagement.

"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 of 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."
