Cody Ware hoped for a relaxed day at Sonoma Raceway after a terrifying crash on the finish of the Chicago Road Course race, one week prior. A brake rotor exploded at one of many quickest elements of the circuit and Ware’s automotive buried itself into the tire obstacles at Flip 6. He impacted the wall at round 90mph, inflicting noticeable injury to the steering wheel and cracking his HANS Machine.
Fortunately, nothing like that occurred at Sonoma, but it surely wasn’t with out its personal drama. Within the closing laps of the race, the right-rear wheel separated from the automotive. The No. 51 Rick Ware Racing Ford was capable of proceed, however the runaway wheel introduced out a warning flag. Ware drove the automotive again to the pits and carried on, finally ending thirty fourth of the 37 starters. It was Ware’s worst end since Bristol in April.
Because of the unfastened wheel, NASCAR has issued workforce penalties to RWR. Rear tire changer Marquill Osborne and jackman De’Quan Hampton have each been suspended for the subsequent two races — Dover this weekend and Indianapolis subsequent weekend.
The one different penalties from the race weekend have been fines for unsecured lug nuts within the Xfinity Sequence. The No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet of Austin Hill, No. 26 Sam Hunt Racing Toyota of Dean Thompson, and the No. 44 Alpha Prime Racing Chevrolet of Brennan Poole.
