Hendrick Motorsports says that Hooters has not been able to meet its sponsorship obligations to the No. 9 team of Chase Elliott and they have ended the relationship.
Hooters’ sponsorship deal with the team was scheduled to end after this year. They were the primary sponsor for Elliott at Atlanta and Texas earlier in the year and were scheduled to sponsor the fall Richmond race.
Hooters has struggled recently and just announced the closure of 44 locations nationwide.
