Casey Mears' race to reach some career start milestones continues. The veteran driver made a surprise return to the NASCAR Cup Series this year, making a handful of starts in the No. 66 car as he tries to reach 500 starts in the top level of the sport.
He will make his 492nd career Cup start this weekend at Talladega, and while he won't reach it in 2025, there is another milestone he intends to check off the list this year. The 47-year-old has announced plans to make his NASCAR Truck debut at Martinsville, which will also be his 600th career start across all three national divisions of the sport.
