Germain Racing Confirms Ownership Change

Mooresville, NC (May 23, 2011) – As has been reported in the media, Germain Racing has had a change in ownership. The change comes about as part of an ongoing Germain-family estate plan. Steve Germain and Rick Germain have effectively transferred their ownership interests in Germain Racing to their brother Bob Germain Jr. Bob Germain will continue his active role in the management of Germain Racing, LLC.

"Being able to share the wins and championships we’ve earned to date with my brothers has been very special. Steve and Rick's support of the team over the last seven years has helped us build a very strong foundation at Germain Racing. I am looking forward to the continued growth and success of this race team,” stated Bob Germain, President of Germain Racing.

Germain Racing began in 2004 as a single-truck organization competing solely in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The team has since earned two Truck Series championship titles and Germain Racing’s 22 victories have played a key role in Toyota’s five-year reign on the manufacturer’s championship in NCWTS.

Currently Germain Racing competes under the Toyota brand in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with sponsorship from GEICO, South Point Hotel & Casino, Valvoline, Tire Kingdom, Georgia Boot, Lofton Cattle, Lincoln Welders, Samoa Artesian Waters and Big Red.
