“I need help.”
That’s never what you want to hear a driver say after they’ve had a hard crash at the racetrack, but it’s exactly what Cody Ware said over his team radio after he crashed in Sunday’s (Sept. 25) AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500.
The single-car accident during stage two saw Ware slam the outside wall before careening down pit road and coming to a stop after barreling into the pit road wall and coming to rest.
Here is a replay of what happened to @CodyShaneWare.

Ware needed assistance and was loaded onto a stretcher for the ride to the infield care center. Nearly an hour passed with no updates on his condition, but after the lengthy stay, the driver of the No. 51 Ford was released.

Ware did not speak to media after his release from the care center. According to a team representative at the track, he has no broken bones but does have some ankle soreness. More information on his status should come from the team during the week.
