FPR does it in threes
Rod Nash Racing (RNR) and sponsor The Bottle-O will shift alliances in 2010, running a Falcon V8 Supercar with Ford Performance Racing (FPR).
RNR’s move will see FPR expand to a three-car team, and while a driver for The Bottle-O Falcon is not locked in, it is has been confirmed all three cars will operate from FPR’s factory in Campbellfield, Melbourne and be positioned together in pitlane.
Edwards will remain Team Principal for the two FPR licences and Rod Nash remains Team Principal for RNR’s licence.
RNR’s partnership with FPR runs for three years and The Bottle-O has extended its sponsorship with the RNR entry for an extra year so that it runs for the same length of time.
The deal is a major coup for Rod Nash Racing, which debuted in V8 Supercars in 1998 and in recent years has run a Walkinshaw-prepared Commodore.New shine for Armor All Townsville 400
