NEWTON, Iowa - Aug. 1, 2025 - PRLog -- 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."

The Iowa event holds special importance for Costa Oil, which operates multiple 10-Minute Oil Change locations across the state, including one just minutes from the track at 1217 1st Ave. East, Newton, IA.

"Our initial collaboration with Carson Ware in the Xfinity Series was more than a marketing opportunity – it helped set the tone internally for what this partnership means," said Brandon Cornelius, Chief Operating Officer, Costa Oil. "When our team gathered earlier this year at Pocono to support RWR at that race, it brought a renewed sense of pride and culture throughout the organization. Now, taking that next step to be a full primary at Iowa, it's the kind of milestone that feels like a dream realized for all of us at Costa Oil."

Founded in 2013, Costa Oil aims to be America's premier choice for fast, reliable automotive services. The company provides high-quality oil change services backed by exceptional customer care, including complimentary fluid top-offs and tire-pressure checks.

"We're proud to showcase Costa Oil's first primary race partnership with RWR this weekend at Iowa," said Rick Ware, team owner of Rick Ware Racing. "They're a fast-growing company that's changing the game in the quick-lube space by focusing on speed, convenience and customer care – all values we live by in motorsports. Costa Oil is a brand that shares our drive to grow, compete and deliver results."
