Bubba Wallace sponsor ends $2m-a-year deal with Nascar but continues support for drivers and racing team on grid
Funding for the Chicago street race has been revoked by one of Nascar’s largest sponsors.
The racing company reportedly received $2 million a year from the arrangement, and they will now search for other businesses to cover the gap.
Although it hasn’t been verified yet, McDonald’s is said to have shut down after only two years.
Although the fast food company continues to sponsor the sport, its emblem is no longer shown on the Nascar website.
Despite the current legal dispute, McDonald’s is a founding partner of 23XI Racing and Bubba Wallace, and it appears that they will continue to support the vehicle and Wallace’s case.
The 2025 season’s revised partners page still has its logo and information.

Despite not having the naming rights for the race, which is called Grant Park 165, the Chicago-based McDonald’s seemed like the ideal choice.
A special segment of the tune included the company’s distinctive emblem, which was also shown on posters, concert stages, and fan entrances.
Now that the $200 billion company was gone, Nascar could find another local enterprise to take its place.
However, given that the three-year contract with Chicago is approaching its last year without a renewal agreed upon, there is also a hint that Nascar may consider moving the street race to another city.
The Sports Business Journal said that “McDonald’s has ended its founding sponsorship of the Nascar Chicago street race after two years, dropping a local connection the event had with one of the biggest corporations in the city.”
It is unknown whether McDonald’s decision to drop out of the agreement is related to the antitrust action that Front Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing brought against Nascar.
They claim that the France family and the sport have engaged in anti-competitive behavior.
The plaintiffs contend that monopolistic practices by the France family have restricted chances for other teams and stifled competition.
Last Monday, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell rejected Nascar’s petition to dismiss the complaint, which was a significant legal milestone.
According to Bell, teams had made “plausible antitrust claims” and the matter could not be thrown out without more investigation.
Bell asked: “What is the actual evidence and how does it inform a correct legal conclusion?”
Motions to dismiss this case cannot answer these questions.
