I couldn\u2019t be more excited to see this car on-track at Darlington. When the idea of Wednesday races started to be a reality, this car design really picked up steam within our organization. Everyone at Germain Racing and GEICO deserves credit for creating a car that not only looks really cool, but makes the best out of the situation that our sport is in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The car will get noticed early in the race as Dillon&#8217;s 19th place finish on Sunday has given him the second spot on the grid.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NASCAR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NASCAR<\/a> fans!
