   CONCORD, N.C.
   Mike Wallace will get a Richard Childress Chevy and engine for this year's Daytona 500, with Truck tour owner Kevin Buckler of TRG Motorsports making this call.
    "This is a huge opportunity," Buckler says.  "With the group of partners we have, we decided to put a program together.
   "We have been on a very steep growth curve with our entries in the Truck series and ARCA.  With the economic situation, it is always nice to be able to look for opportunity wherever possible, and that what we have done.
    "This will be defining moment in our team's history. 
    "The plan we crafted two years ago is in place, objectives are being met, and we are trying to reach our goals."
     Veteran Butch Hylton will be the crew chief.
   Buckler called the Childress deal "a technical alliance which will benefit both teams."
