Overview

  • The 47-year-old will drive Garage 66’s No. 66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse at Talladega on Oct. 19, Martinsville on Oct. 26, and Phoenix on Nov. 2.
  • S.I. Yachts serves as primary sponsor for all three races and is owned by Germain Motor Company, while Acrisure continues as a major associate partner.
  • Mears has 491 NASCAR Cup Series starts and is slated to reach 494 by season’s end as he continues pursuing the 500-start mark achieved by only a small group of drivers.
  • He returned to the Cup Series earlier this year with finishes of 35th at Martinsville and 29th at Daytona, reflecting a part-time effort with a smaller team.
  • Garage 66 co-owner Carl Long praised Mears’ preparation and said the team aims to finish 2025 strong; the Talladega race airs Oct. 19 at 2 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
