The $100 million worth artist didn’t explain why the decided to immediately cut ties. Still he is looking forward to seeing how the Trackhouse Racing drivers will perform on Sunday in the Great American Race, adding it’s a true owner to have a relationship with the team.
We have made the decision to terminate the partnership with Trackhouse Racing, effective immediately. We’re looking forward to performing on the sport’s biggest stage this Sunday, the Daytona 500. It is a true honor, Dale!

The leader of Trackhouse Racing, Justin Marks shared his feelings about the decision from his partner and pointed put that Pitbulls NASCAR journey is a great business story. He pointed out that with his team scaling up its racing ventures and adding new partners, Pitbull took the opportunity to make the exit, taking rewards for his impact.
This is a great business story. Armando came in when we had no certainty of any material success and took a chance to help build a brand. Now that we’ve scaled up and have new parters, he’s been able to be rewarded for the impact he’s made. A great investment on both ends. Excited to see what he does next! DALE!

The announcement from Pitbull was clearly unexpected and the Trackhouse PR team should have done a better job with the timing of it, as it came just two days before the Daytona 500. If it was a sudden decision from the Singer, there might be some factor NASCAR and the team should look into, to avoid similar situation in the future.
