"Their excitement and enthusiasm for the sport compliments the way we feel, not only about NASCAR, but about our construction projects as well."

The company recently partnered with the Thomasville, N.C.-based team last month at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 with Ray Black Jr.

"We are beyond excited to have such a great marketing partner such as Jacob Companies," said team principal Rick Ware. "This relationship will continue through the balance of the season and we could not be happier than to represent Jacob Companies on our No. 51 Chevrolet.

"Don Perry is such a class act and we are thrilled to be able to collaborate with him and his company. He brings such a wealth of knowledge that we will be able to draw from and resources that will help take our team to another level.

"Everyone at RWR is very excited to have the Official Construction Company of NASCAR on our race team."

Rick Ware Racing made history at Daytona becoming the first Cup Series team in the modern era to have two females serve as pit crew members. Brehanna Daniels and Breanna O'Leary changed tires for Black during his fourth career Cup Series start.
