MAKE Motorsports announced Friday that it will field a second full-time team in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2015.
At Daytona International Speedway, newcomer Cody Ware will pilot the No. 50 Chevrolet Silverado with primary sponsorship from Burnie, and Eagle Convenience Stores will be on the side of Donnie Neuenberger's No. 1. Ware will be the full-time driver in the No. 50 while multiple drivers will fill the No. 1 seat.
Ware made his Truck debut last fall at Talladega with a 27th-place finish for his father and fellow racer Rick Ware. The younger Ware also competed in four XFINITY races in 2014 for Robert Richardson Sr., turning in a 15th-place finish in his first race in the series at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. He also recorded two wins and earned rookie-of-the-year honors in the TUDOR United Sports Car Championship's Lamborghini Super Trofeo class.
"I'm excited to be teaming up with MAKE Motorsports for the 2015 season," Ware said. "I'm looking forward to working with (owner) Mark (Beaver), Tracy (Lowe), and everyone at MAKE, especially our new sponsors, Burnie and BUBBA Burger. I believe that this partnership will benefit everyone over the course of the season."
Beaver fielded trucks in all 22 races in 2014 with T.J. Bell behind the wheel for 17 of those races. Travis Kvapil ran two events with Jordan Anderson, Wendell Chavous and Milka Duno running a race apiece. The No. 50 finished 23rd in owner points last year.
The No. 1 driver, Neuenberger, has 23 starts in the Truck Series with a best finish of ninth at Daytona International Speedway in 2000 and again in 2010.
MAKE kicks off the season at Daytona International Speedway in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 (Feb. 20, 7 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1).
