Casey Mears (born March 12, 1978 in Bakersfield, California) is the driver of the #25 National Guard Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series for Hendrick Motorsports. He is the nephew of four time Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears and the son of Indy and off-road veteran Roger Mears, and he competed in 3 ChampCar races in 2001 after Alex Zanardi was injured in a race in Germany.
Mears added arguably the most impressive win to his resume on January 29, 2006 when he, Scott Dixon, and Dan Wheldon teamed up to win the 44th annual Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona for Chip Ganassi racing. They set a race record for the Daytona Prototype category, running 723 laps in 24 hours to score the win. Mears became the first ever full-time NASCAR driver to win the Rolex 24.
