Dieselgeek Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/story/_/id/29853350/nascar-driver-bubba-wallace-leaving-richard-petty-motorsports-season NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace will be leaving Richard Petty Motorsports after the 2020 season, he announced on social media Thursday. "This was not an easy decision as I have nothing but the utmost respect for Richard Petty and his family, but I believe it's time for someone else to take over the reins of the No. 43," Wallace said in a Twitter post. "Thank you to the King and everyone at Richard Petty Motorsports for giving me the opportunity to start my Cup Series career. I've grown so much as a driver and as a person since joining them. We've got nine more races together, and I hope we can finish the 2020 season on a high note." RPM said it will announce a new driver "in the near future." Wallace has yet to win a Cup race during his three seasons driving for Petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Bubba has a bunch of sponsor dollars in his back pocket...rumors are that he is heading to Ganassi and driving the 42 next year.

Angry ginger Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 the black danica patrick. Gets sponsor money even when better drivers are struggling to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 in 3 seasons the kids got less than 25 laps led and 10 top 10's. And because he's black he's the second coming of christ that sponsors and teams are fighting over. SMH FTR he may turn out to be much better than Danica but whats going on around him is very much like her arrival to cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Wallace won in the truck series and to be fair RPM is a low to mid pack team at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
