Hendrick Motorsports Ends Sponsorship Deal with Hooters

The NASCAR team cites the restaurant chain's inability to meet financial commitments as the reason for the termination.

Hooters had been sponsoring the No. 9 car driven by Chase Elliott since 2017.
The decision follows Hooters' closure of over 40 locations nationwide due to financial pressures.
Both parties attempted to find a solution before ending the partnership.
Hooters has a long history in NASCAR, starting in the early 1990s with Alan Kulwicki.
Hendrick Motorsports expressed gratitude for Hooters' contributions over the years.
