As a Former High School Wrestler, Cody Ware is Ready for the Cook Out 400 At Martinsville

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 25, 2025) – Wrestling a racecar for 400 laps around Martinsville (Va.) Speedway necessitates a strong upper-body and powerful legs, connected with a tight core.

Whether one’s car is lightning quick or could use a jolt of lightning, Martinsville pushes the boundaries of human performance as much as a car’s mechanical limits.

Crate Modifieds Join Open-Wheel Lineup At Wiscasset Speedway in 2025

Written By: Amy Worrey – Chasing the Checkered

Wiscasset Speedway has a knack for making racing bigger and better with each and every passing year. This off-season was no exception with the addition of the Davis Erector Group Crate Modifieds to the already action-packed Group 1 lineup.

The division has been a work in progress for some time now, as track owner Richard Jordan manifested the idea with the purchase of a fleet of Crate Modifieds a handful of years back. Fans got their first taste of the cars at last season’s Fall Fury event with a 25-lap exhibition race full of exciting twists and turns.
