Rick Ware Racing suffered a massive blow following NASCAR’s decision to suspend Cody Ware indefinitely this week. The suspension comes after Ware was arrested and charged with felony “assault by strangulation” on a female, inflicting serious injury. While few details are available about Ware’s incident, it will certainly take time to conclude.
With allegations of domestic violence against Rick Ware’s son, the investigation may consume a significant amount of time. Meanwhile, his team has announced his replacement for the race at Martinsville. Young NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Zane Smith is the chosen one in this case.
The 23-year-old is a consistent front-of-the-pack driver in the Truck Series, scoring 50 top-10 finishes in 71 races. He is also the defending champion. The young California-born driver certainly has plenty of potential and the NASCAR faithful know it.
Fans couldn’t control their excitement as the news about Smith replacing Cody Ware unfolded. Some of the fans on Reddit commented as follows: “Great choice”, “This kids going to the 4. Book it.”, “The #51 car is about to run faster than it ever has before.”, “Makes the most sense”, “Yay, go Zane!”
