NASCAR Cup Series driver Bubba Wallace has signed a personal services agreement with Beats by Dr. Dre, the company announced Monday night.

Beats by Dre was scheduled to make the announcement later in the week, but in a show of support for Wallace following President Trump’s tweet Monday morning, the decision was made to release the news earlier than anticipated.
