Mears and Germain team up for at least 20 races

Casey Mears will run at least 20 races – and possibly the full NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule – for Germain Racing in their #13 Toyota Camry. "We are running Casey in the #13 car for at least 20 races… maybe full season," said team owner Bob Germain via email Tuesday. "(We will run) the first six for sure… then will see where we are in points." Germain Racing fielded its #13 Toyota with GEICO sponsorship for Max Papis/Mears last season, qualifying for a total of 18 races, in addition to five DNQs. There has been no word on sponsorship for the Mears/Germain tandem. Sirius Speedway

Last season Mears said GEICO would be back to sponsor the team in 2011 for 18 races. FoxSports
