    Rick Ware Racing terminated Jeffrey Earnhardt's contract Tuesday, alleging the 21-year-old driver has been talking to other teams about a new ride.

    Team owner Rick Ware also alleged that Earnhardt, the grandson of the late seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, is trying to entice the team's sponsor to leave with him.

    "We have been informed by several team owners that our driver and his management company has been shopping around for another team, alluding that sponsorship was coming with them," Ware said in a statement.

    "It is disheartening that all the effort, time and money spent on Jeffrey have been for nothing, but we have been given no choice but to look for another driver."
