GEICO will continue its relationship with Biagi Bros. Racing and Mike Wallace on the team’s No. 4 Chevrolet into the 2003 season GEICO, the nation’s leading provider of insurance products and services, has agreed to sponsor the #4 BGN car for at least 10 races this year, beginning with the season-opening Koolerz 300 at Daytona International Speedway next month. “We are excited to have GEICO onboard for the 2003 season,” said Fred Biagi, team owner. “We are in the process of building two new cars to add to our fleet and with continued support from GEICO, motors provided by Bill Davis and the knowledge and experience of new crew chief Tony Lambert, we are confident that we will be competitive in the season to come.” The sponsorship deal was coordinated by Barnette Sports & Entertainment and completed on Monday.

GEICO continued to sponsor the Biagi Bros. team for an additional ten races in 2002, closing with the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. “We are proud to be associated with GEICO,” said Biagi. “We encourage everyone to call GEICO at 1-800-342-9070 for a free quote on insurance.”(Biagi Bros.
