IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — Cup Series driver Cody Ware, 27, has been suspended indefinitely, according to NASCAR officials.
Iredell County Deputies said Ware is listed in their system Monday for charges related to "assault by strangulation— inflict serious injury” and “assault on a female.” The sheriff’s records also indicated Ware’s bond was $3,000 after his arrest.
NASCAR officials said Ware did not participate in the Bristol Motor Speedway's dirt track this past weekend after they said his father released a statement Saturday morning saying Ware had stepped away to focus on a "personal matter."
Ware has raced in the Cup Series since 2017. His best finish in 97 career starts is sixth place last August at Daytona International Speedway.
