Darrell "Bubba" Wallace will join the lineup for the Xfinity Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, driving the No. 98 Nickelodeon Slime Ford in the NASCAR Xfinity race for Biagi DenBeste Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports.

RPM helped put the Chicagoland deal together for Wallace, who won last month's Camping World Truck Series race at Michigan before NASCAR ruled it to be encumbered. The organization is actively working to secure sponsorship to run Wallace in additional races next year.

"I'm really glad to get back behind the wheel of a race car," Wallace said. "Chicago has always been a decent track for me where I've had some good finishes. I'm excited to get back in the XFINITY Series in a Ford Mustang. With the history with Biagi DenBeste Racing and RPM, we should have some good speed. It's really cool to be pair with Nickelodeon. We've formed a great relationship over the past three years, and we're able to do these one off races to attract the youth to the sport. With such a cool looking car this weekend, I think we'll do just that."

The 23-year-old had two top-15 finishes as a fill-in for the injured Aric Almirola, and while he was substituting at RPM his Xfinity Series ride at Roush Fenway Racing disappear due to lack of funding. Wallace has 84 Xfinity Series starts; in 12 races this season he's amassed six sixth-place finishes.

Nickelodeon is the entitlement sponsor of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, Sept. 17, dubbed the Tales of the Turtles 400.
