Cody Ware did not compete in this past weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Bristol Motor Speedway, while he focused on a “personal matter”. Now, the reason for Ware stepping away at Bristol has come to light. On Monday, Ware was arrested and charged with felony assault by strangulation and misdemeanor assault on a female following an investigation by the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office.

The Iredell County Jail confirmed the charges to TobyChristie.com and the jail confirms that Ware is still in custody at the time of publishing and that the racer is currently being held on a $3,000 bond.

NASCAR has indefinitely suspended Ware from competition following the arrest.

“It started out okay, then I spun out and lost a bunch of track position,” Davenport told members of the media after exiting the infield care center. “I just never did really get going where I felt like I could pass cars. I would pass two or three, and then I would kind of get in a lull and just kind of ride.”
