WELCOME, N.C. -- Richard Childress Racing has signed Zaxby's to be the primary sponsor for a Nationwide Series team in 2010 with John Wes Townley as the driver.

Townley, 19, is completing his first full season in the Nationwide Series. He is 24th in the point standings, competing in 23 of 32 events. He finished seventh in the 2008 ARCA Series point standings.

"I look forward to the opportunity to drive for Richard Childress Racing next year," Townley said. "It's a thrill to be part of their organization. They have such a well-respected history and have produced solid results over the years. I'm confident we'll run well next season."
