context_page_description: Germain Racing is an American professional stock car racing team that currently competes in the NASCAR Cup Series. It is owned by Bob Germain, whose family owns many car dealerships across the United States as Germain Motor Company. The team currently fields the No. 13 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE full-time for Ty Dillon. The team previously fielded the No. 03, No. 9, No. 30, No. 62 and No. 77 Toyota Tundras in the Camping World Truck Series and the No. 7 and No. 15 Toyota Camry in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Previously, the team had been affiliated with Arnold Motorsports, a former Cup Series team, until the 2005 season as Germain-Arnold Racing.
  After fielding Toyotas for most of its history, the team fielded Ford Fusions in 2012 and 2013. Then in 2014, the team switched to Chevrolet, ending a two-year partnership with Ford, and formed a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.
context_section_description: Shigeaki Hattori (2005)
  The No. 9 Toyota Tundra debuted at Daytona in 2005 with rookie Shigeaki Hattori behind the wheel in a partnership with Arnold Motorsports, the team was called Germain-Arnold Racing. Although he had two seventh place starts, Hattori struggled in his transition to stock cars, and was released towards the end of the season, and replaced by Justin Hobgood, whose best finish was a 20th at Phoenix.
  Ted Musgrave (2006-2007)
  2005 champion Ted Musgrave, whose team, Ultra Motorsports, had shut down only days before preseason testing, came to the team with a sponsor in Team ASE. He went the entire 2006 season without a win, before picking up a win at Texas in 2007.
  Justin Marks (2008)
  ARCA RE/MAX Series driver Justin Marks replaced Musgrave in the No. 9 with sponsorship from Construct Corps/Crocs. Marks had one pole and an eighth-place finish but he was replaced later in the year. The No. 9 truck was filled for the rest of the year by Chrissy Wallace, Michael Annett, David Reutimann, Paul Tracy, and Sean Caisse.
  Max Papis (2009-2011)
  The No. 9 only ran a limited number of races in 2009 and 2010 with Max Papis, and sponsor GEICO.
  Papis drove the No. 9 full-time in 2011 with GEICO sponsoring, but only managed two top-10 finishes and finished 18th in points.  For 2012, Germain shut down their truck operations and GEICO moved up to the Sprint Cup Series with Mears.
