Rusty Wallace Racing announced Tuesday that the organization will make a return to the NASCAR Nationwide Series, fielding the No. 66 Ford Mustang in a limited 2013 campaign.
Driving the car will be 25-year-old Steve Wallace, son of team owner and 1989 Sprint Cup champion Rusty Wallace.
Steve Wallace scored his third straight top 10 Nationwide points finish in 2011. The same year, the young driver made his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut, scoring a lead-lap top-20 finish in the Daytona 500.
Backing a portion of the 2013 effort will be Charlotte, N.C-based mortgage and real estate firm, Richard Tocado Companies. Tocado will serve as primary sponsor of the No. 66 Ford Mustang beginning with the May 2013 Nationwide event at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with additional events to be named later.
"We're really excited to have the Richard Tocado Companies on board with our team," Rusty Wallace said. "In this economy, everyone is looking for ways to save money, and Richard Tocado has done just that for a lot of folks. We're looking forward to helping race fans have a great mortgage and real estate experience.
"We're also excited about getting back to a little bit of racing. I think we all learned a lot over the last year or two, and we're looking forward to having the opportunity to show it. Our goal for 2013 is to compete in 10-15 events. We're looking forward to growing our relationship with the Richard Tocado Companies and are very positive about what the future holds."
