Weeks ago, it was announced that Richard Petty Motorsports offered Bubba Wallace a part-ownership role with Richard Petty Motorsports to keep him on the team. It remains unclear that he took that deal. But, the key phrase to the DoorDash deal is multi-year.

“From a business perspective, the addition of DoorDash expands our resources, enabling us to build the best team and in turn grow our organization at a pace that will enhance our ability to win races,” Brian Moffitt, chief executive officer at Richard Petty Motorsports, said. “DoorDash empowers businesses to grow, and this partnership is a direct result of that philosophy.”

Bubba Wallace is signing sponsors left and right. Weeks ago, the team brought Cash App into the sport in their first sponsorship of a pro sports team. Earlier this week, Wallace himself signed with Columbia Sportswear.
