Chris Windom is set to make his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway in the inaugural Food City Dirt Race in late March. Windom will pilot the No. 15 NOS Energy Chevrolet in the premier event.
Windom, an Illinois native, is a veteran in dirt racing. In 2020, Windom became one of only seven drivers to achieve the coveted USAC Triple Crown, winning an overall championship in the three national categories, Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown.
“I am excited to have Chris make his debut in the NASCAR Cup Series with Rick Ware Racing in the inaugural dirt race at Bristol Motor Speedway,” commented team owner, Rick Ware. “Chris is an established dirt racer, whose achievements surpass many. I’m looking forward to seeing him race, and hopefully bring home a good finish.”
“We are thrilled to be part of this new opportunity with Chris Windom and Rick Ware Racing,” says NOS Energy Marketing Director, Lauren Albano. “Coming off a 2020 USAC Championship Season, it’s clear Chris is a wheelman and ready for this next challenge. Bristol Motor Speedway is such an iconic NASCAR track and will be rather special to see a NOS Energy car hit the track with one of our original dirt track drivers.”

I have to thank Lauren Albano with NOS Energy Drink, Brodie Hayward, and David Byrd for helping make this possible for me.”
