HOMESTEAD, Fla. - David Gilliland and Richard Johns will share a Team Rensi Motorsports Ford in the NASCAR Busch Series in 2007, with sponsorship from freecreditreport.com.

Gilliland will drive 24 races in the No. 25, with Johns in for 11 events. Johns works as a race engineer for the team. The deal is for multiple years, team officials said Saturday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Gilliland drives in Nextel Cup for Robert Yates Racing, which has a partnership with Rensi to share performance and marketing information. Team co-owner Ed Rensi said M&Ms, Gilliland's Cup sponsor, will be an associate on the Busch car next season.

Also, freecreditreport.com and McDonald's, Rensi's Busch sponsors, will be on Yates' Cup cars as associates in 2007.

Johns will drive the car in all Busch stand-alone races except Mexico as well as fall races at Richmond, Kansas and Phoenix.
