Rick Ware Racing (RWR) has finalized a deal with Jeffrey Earnhardt Inc. (JEI) to place Earnhardt in the No. 1 Rick Ware Racing Chevrolet for the full 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) season.

“We all want to be No. 1, and next year, this team will be. I feel very fortunate to be part of Rick’s team and we have a world class sponsor in Fuel Doctor USA. We’re thrilled to be racing at Homestead this weekend and next year we’ll make a serious run for Rookie of the Year in the Fuel Doctor Chevrolet.” Jeffrey Earnhardt said.

Over the course of the 2010 season, RWR and Fuel Doctor have catapulted from an unknown commodity to a top-ten team with drivers like Earnhardt, Bobby Hamilton, Stanton Barrett and Travis Kvapil.

“When the green flag dropped back in Daytona, most fans wouldn’t have recognized Rick Ware Racing or Fuel Doctor. It’s been a blast to see the progression in recognition, as our driver lineup has gotten stronger and the finishes have been improving. We had a vision with Fuel Doctor from the beginning, and that vision was to grow exponentially together. We’ve certainly done that, and we’ll continue the growth into 2011,” Rick Ware explained.

Earnhardt, the only 4th Generation Professional Athlete in the World, will launch his campaign for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year award at a track that his grandfather helped make famous; Daytona International Speedway.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for several years and to know that 2011 is a full race season for me with this team is incredible. The equipment and people - top notch and I look forward to being part of Rick’s (Ware) winning team.”

Earnhardt spent the 2010 season gaining NASCAR approval at a variety of racetracks starting at Gateway International Raceway and finalizing it this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
“The series has some of the best drivers in the world, and we know we have the best fans, hands down. Our goal is to live up to the number on the side of the truck and deliver success to our fans and our great sponsors” said Earnhardt.
