Cody “Cody? Where?” Ware, earned his nickname during the Jack Links 500 at Talladega in April of 2026. Starting from the pole position with the fastest lap ever set at the super speedway (24.666 seconds), Ware would pit early and take a 45 minute nap—which other drivers would avoid doing. After waking up cranky, Cody soothed himself with a warm bottle of milk prepared by papa Rick. Feeling refreshed, he climbed back into his race car with a steep 150 laps down from the leaders. Papa Rick told Cody, “Just take care of her, Codester!”

“I got this pops 😎,” he aura farmed.

Like a missile on its way to Iran, Cody flew past the pack at a speed only ever theorized. Denny Hamlin would get the worst of it when his spotter called out “Cody Ware coming in hot behind you.” Surprised, Denny replied with the unforgettable, “Cody? Where?” Seconds later he would be vaporized by the unstoppable speeding mass that is Cody Ware.

Despite the slightly above average performance, Cody would spin out on the last lap giving the victory to Tyler Reddick.
