After Casey Mears’ full-time NASCAR career ended in 2017, he returned to his roots in off-road racing. While things have been going smoothly for him in the desert, he’s also only 11 starts away from hitting 500 career Cup Series races.
Carl Long has decided to help out by hiring Mears to drive Garage 66’s #66 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. His first race for the team will be at Martinsville Speedway on March 30, over six years since his last Cup appearance at the 2019 Daytona 500. If he can make ten more races after that, he’ll be the 48th person to join the 500 Start Club.
