Germain Racing officials announced Monday that Mike Wallace will drive the team's No. 7 Nationwide Series Toyota in 2008, with sponsorship from GEICO.
Wallace and GEICO move from Phoenix Racing, which fielded the No. 7 Chevy for Wallace this season. Wallace finished 11th in the Busch Series points standings in 2007.
Germain Racing General Manager Mike Hillman said Bruce Cook would serve as Wallace's crew chief. Germain also fields Toyota Tundras in the Craftsman Truck Series, winning the series title in 2006 with driver Todd Bodine.
"I've raced with Mike Hillman in the past, and we have a mutual respect for one another," Wallace said. "We are both no nonsense, hard-nosed racers, and we understand and respect one another."
Germain entered five Busch Series races in 2007 with Bodine as driver, posting a best finish of eighth at Michigan in August.
Wallace drove in one truck series race for Germain this year, finishing 17th at Talladega in October.
"He really worked well with the team, drove a very strong race and showed everyone that he will be a very competitive racer for us," Hillman said. "I am confident that with Bruce Cook calling the shots, and everyone here at Germain Racing behind him and Mike, we will put the GEICO Camry in victory lane this season."
