Cody Ware Back Injury Statement
“This wasn’t supposed to be public knowledge.. but due to the leaks I’ll shed some light to my friends here.”
“At Dover two weeks ago I left the race early due to serious back issues. It wasn’t typical pain and I was concerned with how it was affecting my driving. We decided to try to fix my seat at Pocono and continue on.”
“Unfortunately problems persisted…”
“This morning I got an MRI done and the results show that I have some compression and discs issues in my lower back. I have been in contact with both the neurosurgeons and NASCAR and we have come to the decision to sit out until I can heal.”
“This is one of the struggles of a small team. Not having a proper seat compounded this problem for me. I wont be back in a car until my back is healed and I have a proper seat to use.”
“God is good and this is just another step in my path with Him. My back and temporary sideline does not change my love and desire to follow Him.”
