Cody Ware

Do not sleep on Cody Ware at superspeedways. The son of team owner Rick Ware, Cody has quietly developed into one of the most dangerous pack-racing underdogs in the Cup Series, highlighted by a career-best 4th at Daytona in 2024 and leading a career-high 23 laps at the summer Daytona race in 2025. Now full-time in the No. 51 Ford for Rick Ware Racing, he brings an aggressive drafting style and growing confidence on the big tracks. In fantasy, Ware is a premier place-differential play at Daytona and Talladega -- he starts in the 30s but has multiple top-20 superspeedway finishes and legitimate top-5 upside. At non-superspeedway tracks, expect back-marker finishes.
