RWR’s Cody Ware was arrested for assault last year

In April 2023, Rick Ware Racing driver Cody Ware was arrested due to allegations of domestic violence by the Iredell Country, North Carolina Sheriff’s Department. Following this, the driver was suspended by NASCAR until a verdict was given.

The number 15 was accused by his ex-girlfriend of assault by strangulation, following his retraction from the race at Bristol due to personal reasons. Ware, was later bailed out and proceeded to attend court trials.

In December 2023, after 8 months of continuous trials and court hearings, the charges were dropped and the driver was given a clean chit. Later, after the verdict was given, NASCAR reinstated the driver and let him take part in NASCAR racing categories.
