Other venues include Dover, Richmond, Las Vegas, Texas, Martinsville, and the season finale at Phoenix. This spells good news for the Richard Petty Motorsports team since they have been on the hunt for a primary sponsor.
“These last couple of weeks we’ve announced a lot of new partnerships coming in,” Wallace told the “Today” show.

Wallace’s sponsorship deal comes on the back of multiple announcements from the driver and the team. Earlier this week, he bagged another sponsorship deal in the form of Columbia Sportswear. The clothing brand recruited him as a brand ambassador for them and that includes sponsoring his car for his next race.
To be precise, Columbia Sportwear will be seen on the car at the Cup race at Dover International Speedway. Earlier than that, Richard Petty Motorsports announced that Cash App penned a multi-year deal to sponsor the No. 43 car.
This company is set to become the primary sponsor of five races this season. This includes playoff races at Darlington Raceway, Bristol Motor Speedway, and Kansas Speedway.
