Wallace in 2021?
Wallace is in the fourth year with Richard Petty Motorsports. It’s a contract year for the driver who could be driving elsewhere in 2021.
RPM has offered the driver a stake in the ownership of the team. That’s something that’s all but unheard of in modern day NASCAR.
Last month, it was rumored that NBA legend and Charlotte, NC resident Michael Jordan was interested in an investment with Richard Petty Motorsports. That rumor was later shut down by his publicist.
Rumors suggest Wallace is considering options such as the No. 42 at Chip Ganassi Racing. Matt Kenseth jumped out of retirement and took over that seat when Kyle Larson was abruptly suspended by NASCAR for a racial slur.
Wallace has run 102 NASCAR Cup Series races in his career. He’s collected 9 top-10’s but he remains winless with a best-finish of 2nd in the 2018 Daytona 500.
