McDonald’s partnered with brand ambassadors, including 23XI Racing NASCAR Cup Series driver Bubba Wallace, to encourage tens of millions of customers across the country to contribute to the great cause by completing their next McDonald’s Whole Dollar purchase.
“Last year I went to the Ronald McDonald House to spend time with the children and their families from their homes in Charlotte and Texas,” Wallace told Outside Tu. “We would offer food, sit with them and distract them from what was going on in their day-to-day lives.”
Wallace will take his 15th Cup Series race Sunday afternoon at Homestead-Miami Speedway. 23 Toyota will get a special paint scheme.
“My time at RMHC was very rewarding, so I’m excited to return as part of the McDonald’s family and celebrate 50 years of partnership,” said Wallace. “I have a new custom paint job developed by a local RMHC family in South Florida on Toyota no. 23 that I will race next week at Homestead and will be named after my RMHC family in Alabama. car”.McDonald’s serves about 25 million people a day in the United States, or about 7.5% of the US population. Wallace encourages these customers to participate in the “Gift to RMHC” initiative. “You can help us celebrate too.” Wallace said. “Give an ‘RMHC gift’ by rounding the amount of your next McDonald’s purchase to the nearest whole cent. Every cent makes a difference.”
If everyone donated just one cent, that would be $250,000 a day.
“McDonald’s has always been there for me,” Wallace continued. “They came with me to my first win at Talladega and my first Cup Series pole. It is significant that this collaboration continues. We share the same values and beliefs as we strive to be good people for the greater good.”
Bubba Wallace talks Grimace
Wallace, who has used the McDonald’s Grimace color scheme several times before, was asked about the ongoing Grimace theme with the New York Mets, who changed their season after the iconic mascot retired the first pitch midway through the season. The Mets were 28-37, 13th out of 15 National League teams at the time, and went to an MLB-best 61-36 record the rest of the season. Since then, they’ve made the playoffs as the NL’s No. 6 seed, defeated the No. 3 Milwaukee Brewers and No. 2 Philadelphia Phillies, and advanced to the NLCS against the No. 1 Los Angeles Dodgers.
“I don’t really like baseball, but Grimace is that guy,” Wallace said. “We had a few different plans for Grimace, so it’s no surprise that it seems to be a favorite with fans and audiences everywhere.”Implemented just days after the Mets’ unforgettable Wallace performance at Iowa Speedway in June, Grimace’s schedule wasn’t enough to turn the season around and make the playoffs, but he hopes to do the same in 2025. there is. “I try to come back every new season,” Wallace said. “I’d say I’ve grown a lot since I’ve been in this team, but as the season goes on I try not to get too tired of things. “Daytona will enter the new year with a clean slate and return to the playoffs fighting for a win.”
