Casey Mears was officially presented Friday as the new driver of the Army National Guard-sponsored NASCAR vehicle.
Mears, his Hendrick Motorsports team and Lt. Gen. Clyde Vaughn, director of the National Guard, mingled with soldiers and others at a reception at the Army National Guard Readiness Center in Arlington, Va.
Mears, 28, will make his first recruiting appearance Jan. 24, Guard officials said.
This will be his fifth season as a driver in the Nextel Cup series. He moved to NASCAR in 2002 from the Indy Racing League.
The Guard will be sharing sponsorship of Mears’ No. 25 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS with GMAC.
