(CSE: AIDR, OTC: AIRDF, Frankfurt: 939) (“Rocket Doctor AI” or the “Company”), a physician-built, AI-powered healthcare technology company focused on empowering doctors and expanding access to high-quality, affordable care, today announced the first activation of its national motorsports marketing partnership with Rick Ware Racing and FinTekk AP. Rocket Doctor AI will serve as the primary sponsor of Rick Ware Racing’s No. 51 Chevrolet, driven by Cody Ware in the inaugural Anduril 250 NASCAR Cup Series race Sunday at Qualcomm Circuit on Naval Base Coronado in San Diego. The San Diego event marks the first of approximately 50 planned motorsports activations for Rocket Doctor AI in 2026, including 14 primary races across Rick Ware Racing’s motorsports portfolio. This multi-event campaign leverages the broad reach of NASCAR, NHRA, World Supercross, and American Flat Track to establish a national marketing footprint, while providing Rocket Doctor AI with tailored opportunities to engage its targeted demographics within focused U.S. healthcare territories. California is one of Rocket Doctor AI’s largest and most strategically important growth markets, with more than 8.2 million eligible patients now able to access care through physicians using the company’s technology and systems. Across the United States, Rocket Doctor AI’s expanding payer and provider network reaches more than 21 million covered lives across Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, commercial insurance and employer-sponsored health plans. As the company continues to scale in California, the Rick Ware Racing and FinTekk AP partnership helps convert expanded network access into patient awareness, community engagement and healthcare utilization in one of the nation’s largest healthcare markets. “NASCAR provides an incredible opportunity to connect with millions of Americans in the communities we are focused on serving,” said Dr. Essam Hamza, Chief Executive Officer of Rocket Doctor AI. “As we continue expanding across the United States, this partnership with Rick Ware Racing and FinTekk AP helps introduce Rocket Doctor AI to patients who may not realize that convenient, physician-led healthcare options are available to them. Launching this activation at one of the most anticipated races of the season is an exciting milestone for our company and our continued U.S. growth strategy.” The Anduril 250 is expected to attract significant national attention given its historic venue, its status as NASCAR’s first event hosted on an active military installation, and Naval Base Coronado’s cultural connection to aviation history, including its association with the movie Top Gun. The event will be broadcast nationally on Amazon Prime, providing Rocket Doctor AI with exposure to a broad audience across key U.S. markets. “NASCAR fans represent communities from every corner of America, including many rural and underserved areas where access to healthcare can be difficult,” said Cody Ware, driver of the No. 51 Rocket Doctor AI Chevrolet for Rick Ware Racing. “Rocket Doctor AI is working to help patients connect with physicians more easily, and I’m proud to help introduce their mission to our fans. It’s exciting to have Rocket Doctor AI on board for such a historic event.” Beyond race-day visibility, Rick Ware Racing and FINTEKK AP will work alongside Rocket Doctor AI to support broader community engagement and patient acquisition initiatives through integrated marketing campaigns, business development activities and market activation programs throughout the 2026 racing season.

It began at age 6 when the third-generation racer began his driving career and has since spanned four wheels and two wheels on both asphalt and dirt. Competing in the SCCA Trans Am Series and other road-racing divisions led Ware to NASCAR in the early 1980s, where he finished third in his NASCAR debut – the 1983 Warner W. Hodgdon 300 NASCAR Grand American race at Riverside (Calif.) International Raceway. In 1995, Rick Ware Racing was formed, and with wife Lisa by his side, Ware transitioned out of the driver’s seat and into full-time team ownership. He has since built his eponymous organization into an entity that competes full-time in the elite NASCAR Cup Series while simultaneously campaigning winning teams in the Top Fuel class of the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, Progressive American Flat Track (AFT), FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) and zMAX CARS Tour.
