The partnership is needed because of the decision RWR made earlier this month to field Toyota vehicles for the next season. JGR will help RWR with the development of their Camrys.
"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," Rusty Wallace told NASCAR. "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."
"We're looking forward to working with Rusty and his team at RWR," JGR president J.D. Gibbs added. "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."
As said, RWR will switch to Toyotas after racing for the last two seasons with two Chevrolet Impalas. As Wallace said when he announced the cars for the next season, the move was necessary because RWR found it difficult to beat teams which field Toyota vehicles. The fact that its two-year support given by Chevrolet is over made the decision even easier.
RWR's Toyota will be run with engines provided by Triad Racing Development.
