Watch: Cody Ware Involved in a Violent Wreck at Chicago Street Race

The Chicago Street Race is one of the most exciting races on the NASCAR calendar. Fans get to see their favorite drivers battle it out in a tricky street race, a far cry from superspeedways like Daytona. However, these tracks have their own risks, as Cody Ware found out. The 29-year-old was out of the race after a massive wreck.

During the street race on Sunday, Ware was fighting for position. However, an issue with his front right started affecting his run. Things went to such an extent that Cody Ware became nothing more than a sitting duck inside his car.

The 29-year-old slammed his car into the wall and a tire came right up on his hood. The incident shocked fans as Ware had no control left over the car. It turned out that the brake rotator in the car broke. As such, Cody Ware could not avoid the wreck.The conditions on-track got worse after the incident.

While Cody Ware was stuck in the barriers, the officials failed to raise a caution immediately. Rather, racing continued for over 30 seconds before a caution was raised. This could’ve been led to another major incident on-track. Luckily everyone managed to avoid any further trouble. The caution was raised after Shane van Gisbergen took the white flag in the lead, going on to win the race.
