Other managers from Roush Fenway Racing will join Rosuh on the tour of the Statesville, N.C., shop, a source told FOXSports.com.

There have been ongoing talks since before September of a merger between Yates Racing, a sister organization of Roush Fenway, and RPM.

Regardless of whether RPM merges with Yates, majority team owner George Gillett has said his team will be running Fords in 2010. Given that Roush is the principal supplier of Ford engines, RPM will be working directly with RFR in one form or another.
