It was reported that they would attempt 3 races: Richmond, Charlotte and Texas, in the No. 10 Chevy. Cars and engines were supplied by
Richard Childress Racing
with sponsorship from
Gander Mountain
.

The team attempted but failed to qualify at Richmond with Terry Labonte as driver after Terry's little brother
Bobby Labonte
needed the champions provisional. Terry and Gander Mountain would move to
Prism Motorsports
' 55 car for the race. On October 11, 2010 the team announced that Bobby Labonte would drive for the team at Charlotte and Texas, where the team finished 22nd
