Cope will pilot the No. 15 Rick Ware Racing Chevrolet in his final Daytona 500 start at Daytona International Speedway, Rick Ware Racing PR reports.

Jacob Companies will pick up the primary sponsorship and veteran Cope will take his last ride at Daytona in February. The 1990 Daytona 500 winner has a remarkable 25 starts at the World Center of Speed. Aside from being a past winner of the Great American Race, his last start in this prestigious event was in 2004. The 62-year-old will pilot the RWR No. 15 Chevrolet and look to challenge the Top-20 in the season-opener.

2008
The 63-year-old veteran usually attempts/races in the Daytona 500 each season, but that's usually the extent of his racing these days. Cope will usually drive for small, underfunded race teams just to get into the Great American Race.
The 60-year-old Cope made just 3 starts last season with StarCom in the No. 99 Chevrolet. He should be in line for a similar part-time schedule with this race team in 2019.
He made a couple starts with StarCom Racing at the end of last season. Although no plans have been announced, it would be reasonable to assume Cope and this small race team will make a handful of starts in the upcoming season.
Unknown plans in 2016. Usually races his own team part-time in some capacity.
Cope is a free agent driver in 2013.
