UNB! Network Staff Report
Casey Mears, who has been with Germain Racing since 2010, has signed a contract extention to keep him at the team until the end of the 2016 season.
The 37 year old has one Top-5 finish and 5 Top-10 finishes, all of them coming at restrictor plate tracks.
Mears only has one win, and that came in the 2007 Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, when he was driving for Hendrick Motorsports.
"I'm really happy to announce that Casey Mears is back in the No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS next year," said Bob Germain Jr., who owns the team, in a release provided by the team. "He's been an integral part of the team's growth and success over the past 5 years and I am confident he can continue to help is move forward and reach our goals. We've come a long way as a team, and assembled a group of extremely talented people who enjoy working together. As the team owner, that's really the thing I'm most proud of. And, of course, the long term support of GEICO has given us the stability we needed to make it all happen."
"It's really exciting to drive the No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS again in 2016," said Casey Mears. "I think that it's been a long time in the making here at Germain Racing, being competitive at the Cup level. It's been a long process to get the GEICO program to where we are now. We are finally starting to see some of the benefits from all the hard work from the last four or five years. I'm very excited to carry on the GEICO relationship and to be a part of Germain Racing's continued growth.
