Official: Rick Ware Racing reveal 2026 World Supercross riders – Cooper Webb signs

Rick Ware Racing has announced its rider lineup for the 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship, headlined by three-time SX Champion Cooper Webb. The team revealed the roster during NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, leveraging the event’s vast audience to promote the World Supercross series. Webb’s signing signals Rick Ware Racing’s ambition to build on its strong 2025 performance, where the team secured third place in the standings. The announcement coincided with a unique promotional effort, featuring the World Supercross riders’ names on Cody Ware’s No. 51 Chevrolet during the high-profile NASCAR event. Rick Ware, the team owner, highlighted the strategic crossover between NASCAR and World Supercross as a means to expand the series’ global reach. He emphasised the importance of using such a prominent platform to raise awareness and introduce the riders to a broader motorsport audience. Cooper Webb’s addition significantly bolsters Rick Ware Racing’s SX1 class, bringing a wealth of experience and a reputation for consistency and racecraft. Webb, who made a strong impression as a wildcard entry at last year’s Australian GP, will now contest the full World Supercross season, starting with the Canadian GP in Calgary on 8 August. He will be joined by Justin Hill, a seasoned competitor with previous World Supercross experience, adding further strength to the team’s top-tier lineup. In the SX2 category, Rick Ware Racing retains Coty Schock, who impressed with a third-place finish in the 2025 championship, and welcomes Devin Simonson, who steps down from SX1 to SX2 in pursuit of greater success. This blend of continuity and fresh challenge aims to create a competitive and well-rounded squad across both classes. Rick Ware expressed confidence in the team’s composition, praising the mix of championship pedigree, experience, and promising talent as key to their ambitions for the upcoming season.
