My car starts up fine but after driving awhile I will park it and when I get back in I turn the key and nothing. I hear the fuel pump kick on in the back but that is all. I have a brand new battery. After it sits for a while it fires right up with no problems. It is happening more and more often. I looked in the box under the hood and could find no starter relay there.
I am stymied as to what it could be. Thanks for your help.

Next time when it won't start don't wait for nothing to catch it-Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
