Officials of Rusty Wallace Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing have announced the formation of a technical alliance between the two teams, under which JGR will provide RWR with technical support for the development of Toyota's Nationwide Series Camry.

"We're excited about working with J.D. [Gibbs] and his guys; they've built a very solid Nationwide Series program over the past several seasons," team owner Rusty Wallace said. "Between all of the support that we're receiving from Toyota and this new partnership, I feel that 2010 will be a strong year for our team."

In the past two Nationwide Series seasons, RWR has fielded a pair of Chevrolets and, in 2009, was the only team with multiple drivers to finish in the top 10 in points. For the 2010 season, the team will campaign factory-backed Toyota Camrys, with engines provided by Triad Racing Development.

"We're looking forward to working with Rusty and his team at RWR," JGR president J.D. Gibbs said. "We're excited to have them join the Toyota camp next year in the Nationwide Series and we look forward to providing assistance to their program as well."
