Robby Gordon will switch from Ford to Dodge and partner with Gillett-Evernham Motorsports.
Gordon will maintain his status as a one-car operation but has entered into a "technical and marketing agreement" with GEM.
There were several reports the last few days that Gordon was on the verge of either selling his team or merging with another organization.
But speculation was he would stay in the Ford camp with such a move, rather than switch manufacturers.
"I feel this agreement with Gillett Evernham Motorsports helps make the learning curve of the COT little bit easier to navigate," said Gordon. "I like what they have going on over there and I think both organizations will benefit. As an owner I want to do what is best for my employees and sponsors."
Gordon's move to Dodge comes after one year with Ford.
"Ford has been very good to me, and this move is not a reflection on our relationship at all," said Gordon. "Ford was planning on supporting me, and even increasing its engineering support for my program in 2008. However, I felt that I needed to make this move to help put my team in a more stable financial situation in terms of marketing and sponsorship help."
