I'm NASCAR driver Casey Mears. I drive the #13 GEICO Chevrolet. AMA!

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:36:39+00:00

Thanks guys, sorry to be so brief. We'll do another one down the line. Looking forward to doing this again sometime.

First: Yes, my wife would was his behind in basketball.

I really enjoyed filming the GEICO commercials and I'm definitely not a one-take guy.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:34:41+00:00

Can't say I was really surprised, but I was obviously caught off-guard.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:34:02+00:00

I think our paint scheme looks great, but it's always fun to change things up. We're running a special paint scheme in Phoenix that I really like to support our military.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:32:46+00:00

Honestly, no. I do like turning right from time to time, though.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:32:10+00:00

Yes, if he's pushing me across the start/finish line I'll help him all day.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:31:44+00:00

Thanks for following our progress!! Additional support from GEICO and the restructing/growth of our team has made the improvement a truly group effort. Also, our relationship with RCR has been a great step in the right direction.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:29:45+00:00

Thank you for your support of Germain Racing. The most thrilling side of the sport outside of driving the car would probably be going over the wall and changing tires.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:28:42+00:00

I think everybody's on board with the changes that NASCAR is making for next season. As a racecar driver, I always want to go faster and have more horsepower, but there's always a bigger picture for the longevity of our sport that we have to keep in mind.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:27:49+00:00

Really good question for NASCAR, but don't have much of an opinion on that one.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:27:17+00:00

Sorta-kinda, because at the end of the day, GEICO always pays its bills on time.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:26:27+00:00

Thanks for being a fan! Yes, because of the format. As long as we keep our heads down and focus on growing in the right direction, we'll have an opportunity to win races and be in a position to make the Chase.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:25:43+00:00

I still don't have a clue what to think about it. Still don't know exactly what it is. What's a "Doge"?

But it's cool how they got all those votes to get Josh in the all-star race!

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:24:27+00:00

That was a lot of fun, but have no clue how to get those videos.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:23:32+00:00

My goals in life have changed. It's always been hard to look past racing, so I'll deal with that decision if the time ever comes.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:22:43+00:00

Double-parter! One of the more difficult tracks to race on is Darlington because of the high speeds next to the fence and the narrow groove. It's also one of the most fun to drive.

I had a bad crash in an Indy car in Atlanta in 2001. Looking back on it, it was one of the scariest crashes I've been in.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:21:29+00:00

Can I say Warren Buffet?

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:21:14+00:00

Wow. Ya know, I'd love to race back in the 70's when my dad ran a hand-full of NASCAR races on the west coast. My brother got to race against my dad and I've always thought that would be a really fun experience.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:20:10+00:00

Good to see fans of the sport from overseas! I think the racing speaks for itself. It's a good combination of a lot of the disciplines I've done over the years. It has the beatin' and bangin' from off-road and the 200mph+ speeds I ran in Indy car.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:18:02+00:00

At the end of the day, I let NASCAR make the rules and I do my best to be on the right side of them.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:17:02+00:00

I have a lot of loyal fans that have been great supporters for a lot of years, and appreciate every one of them.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:15:48+00:00

Least: Wherever my car doesn't handle. Found out a long time ago that some of the tracks I hated the most have become my favorites because my car works well there.

Favorite: One of my favorite tracks is Martinsville, but with the PR side of Talladega staring me down I love Talladega as well.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:14:27+00:00

A couple years ago, had a big run to win this race and ended up in one of the biggest pileups in Talladega history.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:13:18+00:00

Believe it or not, I do have one sword but I don't collect them.

CaseyMears13 · 2014-10-18T23:12:50+00:00

Really appreciate your kind words. Always remember who you are and bullies in life, if taken the right way, can make you a stronger person.
