MotoGP, Rapper Pitbull surprisingly bids farewell to Trackhouse Racing

Armando Christian Perez, a.k.a. Pitbull, a.k.a. Mr. Worldwide, abruptly announced on social media that he is no longer a co-owner of Trackhouse Racing.

"Ending partnership with Trackhouse Racing," the rapper wrote, "Over the past five years, we've made history by introducing NASCAR to a whole new audience and falling in love with NASCAR fans at the same time. We have made the4 decision to terminate our partnership with Trackhouse Racing, effective immediately. We're looking forward to performing on the sport's biggest stage this Sunday, the Daytona 500."

Pitbull joined Trackhouse Racing in early 2021, shortly before the team entered the NASCAR Cup Series. It is unclear whether the paertnership was just about image or also economic, and what effect the news may have on the satellite Aprilia team racing in MotoGP.
