Rick Ware Racing has unveiled a strong rider lineup for the 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship, with three time SX Champion Cooper Webb leading the team in what is shaping up to be an exciting season.
The announcement comes during one of the biggest weekends in global motorsport, with Rick Ware Racing using NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway to reveal its new World Supercross roster to a massive audience of racing fans.
As part of the celebration, the team’s World Supercross rider line-up will feature on Cody Ware’s No. 51 Chevrolet during Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600, putting the championship in front of one of motorsport’s biggest television audiences.
For Rick Ware Racing owner Rick Ware, the crossover between NASCAR and World Supercross represents another opportunity to continue growing the global profile of the series.
“The Coca-Cola 600 gives us a big stage, and we want to use it,” said Ware. “World Supercross is an important part of our overall program. Putting the rider lineup on our Cup car during one of the biggest race weekends of the year helps introduce these guys to an even broader audience and drives more awareness for the series.”
Webb’s arrival immediately raises the stakes for Rick Ware Racing as the American squad looks to build on its third-place finish in the 2025 team standings.
One of the sport’s most recognisable names, Webb made his World Supercross debut as a Wildcard at last year’s Australian GP, giving fans a glimpse of what he could bring to the global Championship full time. Now, he’s ready for a complete campaign.
Known for his racecraft, consistency and ability to deliver under pressure, Webb adds serious firepower to the SX1 field and instantly becomes one of the riders fans will be watching when the gate drops at the Canadian GP in Calgary on 8th August.
Joining Webb in SX1 is Justin Hill, who has World Supercross experience after competing in the 2025 and 2023 seasons with Venum Bud Racing. Hill’s aggressive riding style and proven pace adds depth to Rick Ware Racing’s SX1 roster, creating one of the most experienced pairings on the grid.
Rick Ware Racing’s SX2 line-up looks equally capable. Coty Schock returns after a breakout 2025 campaign that saw him finish third in the SX2 championship standings.
Schock established himself as one of the class’s most exciting riders last season, combining consistency with outright speed as he battled at the front of the field across multiple rounds.
Alongside him, Devin Simonson returns to World Supercross for another shot at success, this time moving into SX2 after racing in SX1 last season.
The class switch could prove an exciting move for Simonson as he looks to maximise his potential in a highly competitive category.
“Obviously, adding Cooper Webb gets your attention, and we’re excited about that,” Ware added. “But what I like most is how the whole lineup fits together. Devin and Coty give us continuity, Justin brings veteran experience, and Cooper adds championship pedigree. We feel like we’ve got riders who can represent us well and compete at a high level.”
