[[File:35TonyAve2010Bucyrus200RoadAmerica.jpg|thumb|left|2010 NASCAR Nationwide car at [[Road America]]]]
In 2004, Ave made his [[NASCAR Nextel Cup Series]] debut when he drove the No. 80 car owned by [[Hover Motorsports]], a satellite team of [[Joe Gibbs Racing]]. Starting 42nd, Ave dropped out after 84 laps with a brake problem, finishing 31st.

Ave returned to the Cup Series in 2009, competed at Watkins Glen on August 10, 2009 in the rain-delayed [[Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen]]. Ave completed eight laps and finished 43rd in his No. 37 Long John Silver's Dodge owned by [[Front Row Motorsports]].<ref name="NASCARStats" /> Ave also participated in the [[NASCAR Nationwide Series]]' NAPA Parts D'Auto 200 presented by Dodge at [[Circuit Gilles Villeneuve]] as a [[road course ringer]].

Ave participated in the No. 35 car owned by [[TriStar Motorsports]] in the 2010 [[Bucyrus 200]] at [[Road America]] in his home state of Wisconsin. After racing in the Top 10 for most of the race, he spun out on the final lap and dropped out of the Top 10. He returned to the No. 35 team for the other two road course races, finishing 15th at Watkins Glen and leading one lap in Montreal – his first and only lap led in his Nationwide Series career.

In 2011, Ave made his so far last NASCAR attempt at Sonoma, attempting to qualify his No. 38 Long John Silver's car for FRM. He was bumped out of the field by [[Andy Pilgrim]] and did not qualify.

==Other racing==
In April 2002, Ave, along with [[Andy Hillenburg]], tested for the [[Team Racing Auto Circuit]] series at [[Atlanta Motor Speedway]]. Four months later, Ave and [[Boris Said]] tested for TRAC at [[Lowe's Motor Speedway]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jayski.com/pages/trac.htm|title=TRAC Series Info|work=[[Jayski's Silly Season Site]]|accessdate=February 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150220065935/http://www.jayski.com/pages/trac.htm|archive-date=February 20, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 2016, Ave made an agreement with Bill Riley to build a prototype chassis for [[ELMS]] for the P3 and [[International Motor Sports Association|IMSA]] for the Prototype Challenge.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportscar365.com/lemans/elms/ave-riley-lmp3-race-debut-delayed-until-2017|title=Ave-Riley LMP3 Race Debut Delayed Until 2017|date=15 September 2016 }}</ref>
