(Reuters) - Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver at NASCAR's top level, will not return to Richard Petty Motorsports for the 2021 season, the two sides said on Thursday.

Wallace, who was in the national spotlight in June after NASCAR said a noose was found hanging in his garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, will finish the final nine races of the season in the No. 43. Chevrolet.
