Outlook
The biggest obstacle to this veteran’s success isn’t the other drivers or even the tracks, but the funding and critical money needed to be competitive. Germain Racing has struggled to pay the bills, but large corporate sponsor GEICO has stood by them from nearly the beginning. Mears spent a large portion of last season start-and-parking the No. 13 Toyota and that is a killer from a fantasy racing standpoint. When this team takes to the track with the goal to compete they can be pretty good. Mears collected four straight Top-20 finishes between June and July last year before the funding issues set in. If Germain Racing can keep the money flowing there’s little doubt that Mears can climb the rankings, but the cloud of funding problems hangs over this team for the time being.
