According to court documents, the restaurant chain, which began its relationship with Elliott and Hendrick in 2017, was obligated under the contract to provide sponsorship payments in four installments of $437,500 each, as per a report from Autoweek.
These payments were scheduled throughout the racing season – with the first due in March, followed by subsequent installments in June, August, and October.
