Casey Mears

Three days after recording a Top-5 qualifying effort for the Daytona 500, Casey Mears and Germain Racing have announced a new sponsor. B’laster Corp., one of the world’s leading retail automotive manufacturing companies, will join the team as an associate sponsor on the No. 13 GEICO Ford Fusion for Sunday’s “Great American Race.”

For over 50 years, B’laster has manufactured penetrants, lubricants, rust inhibitors and a full line of specialty formulas for the automotive, industrial and hardware industries. Their motto of ‘Nothing Moves Faster Than Blaster’ will integrate well into the Germain Racing program with its newfound horsepower and speed.

Mears said he is excited to team with B’laster, adding, “This is great news and I’m really looking forward to having B’laster Corp.

Mears said he is excited to team with B’laster, adding, “This is great news and I’m really looking forward to having B’laster Corp. with us in Daytona. B’laster is known for being the best and it’s hard to find a mechanic or handyman who’s not familiar with their products. We have such a great partner in GEICO and it’s nice to have great associate sponsors like B’laster that further support our effort. Our 2012 season is off to a great start and I’m glad B’laster has jumped on board and is helping to keep the momentum going.”

Just a month ago, Mears and Germain Racing announced a sponsorship extension through 2014 with longtime partner GEICO. While last year’s Gatorade Duel 150 qualifiers at Daytona delivered a devastating blow to Mears when his engine expired in the opening laps of the race, not all of his 2011 Daytona memories are bad. In July’s “Coke Zero 400” at the World Center of Racing, Mears charged to the front of the field and led the race on two different occasions. He will roll off from the outside pole in Thursday’s Gatorade Duel #2, knowing for the first time that regardless of outcome, he has a guaranteed starting spot in the 2012 Daytona 500.
