Alex Tagliani entered in the KBM 51 FOR THE Inaugural Rolex Daytona Course event
Wallace Contract update: has now been publically revealed that Wallace has been given an unknown % OF THE 43 TEAM; driver contract extension talks for 2021 and/or beyond are continuing....
Fox Sports
what this means is Wallace has been given and/or accepted an ownership stake in RPAC, Inc. aka RPM...;
the decision for Wallace is stay committed to the 43 or go to the 42..... why McDonald's has yet to depart from CGR, IF THEY want Wallace, it would make sense for them to join the 43, if that is the decision.
