Driver Cody Ware was placed under suspension by NASCAR on Monday following his arrest for felony assault in North Carolina.
A felony complaint of assault by strangulation and a misdemeanor count of assault on a female were filed against Ware after his Iredell County Sheriff’s Office arrest on Monday. Ware skipped Sunday night’s dirt race at Bristol Motor Speedway due to a “personal matter,” according to his Rick Ware Racing organization, and was fired soon after the news of his arrest spread.
The 27-year-old Ware raced in most Cup Series events in the last two seasons after making his Cup Series debut in 2017. In 97 career starts, he has driven for his father’s back marker squad and has averaged finishes below the top 30. Ware’s only top 10 results occurred in the chaotic 2022 summer Daytona race, where he placed sixth.
Ware had his most incredible NASCAR season in 2022. Before being hurt in an accident at Texas Motor Speedway, he was scheduled to run all 36 races for the first time and had an average finish of 28th. When Ware’s car struck the outer wall head-on and the inner wall of the pit road due to the first hit’s damage, the driver sustained an ankle injury.
Additionally, Ware raced in the Xfinity and Truck Series of NASCAR and the Indy Car Series in 2021. Two years ago, he competed in three Indy Car races, with his best placing coming in his debut at Road America (19th).
Cody Ware is a professional stock car racing driver who competes in the NASCAR Cup Series. He has been racing since 2014, and in 2021, he will be driving the No. 51 car for Rick Ware Racing. Cody is the son of team owner Rick Ware, and he has been racing for his father’s team since 2017.
In addition to racing in the NASCAR Cup Series, he has competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Before his career in NASCAR, Cody raced in various other series, including the Pirelli World Challenge and the IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.
Cody is known for his dedication and hard work as a driver, and he has a solid social media presence where he interacts with fans and shares updates on his racing career. In his free time, he enjoys fitness and staying active and is also passionate about art and music.
