When DiBenedetto faulted Ware for the incident, the latter replied by falsely accusing him ofinfidelity, causing a firestorm that led to Ware deleting his social media for the rest of the season and up through 2018.[26] A few months later, in February 2018, Ware restarted hisFacebook profile and announced his Asperger's diagnosis in May. Ware later revealed in a January 2019 interview that the incident with DiBenedetto was one of his "biggest setbacks ever", but acknowledged "hitting rock bottom (after that) was the best thing that happened to me because that really gave me the wake-up call of 'hey, this is only going to get worse, and you're never going to come back from it unless you do something about it right now.'"[27]
In 2018, Ware transitioned tomotorcycle racing, but returned to the Cup Series for RWR atDover.[12] He also ran theSonoma race, where he would DNF and place last.

His lone 2020 Cup start was theYellaWood 500 atTalladega Superspeedway.

In the2025 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, Ware led a career high 23 laps but finished in 20th. For the first time in his career, Ware raced all 36 of 36 races of the 20w5 season.
