Through a new partnership with Leavine Family Racing for the 2020 season, Germania has received national exposure as a primary sponsor of the team’s No. 95 Toyota Camry.

For primary sponsored races, the Camry sports the signature Germania green with the handshake logo prominently displayed across the hood. Germania, Germania, start your
The new scheme – which is popular among NASCAR fans – received a special shout-out during its first race from announcer and former NASCAR crew chief Steve Letarte saying: “I won’t lie, the green 95 threw me for a loop. I haven’t seen that car before!” Fans have two more chances to see the Germania car in action this season: Oct. 18 in the Hollywood Casino 400 playoff race at Kansas Speedway and Nov. 1 in the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation partner to make donation in honor of Jackie Robinson
As a proud partner of the Texas Rangers, Germania teamed up with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation to honor the life and legacy of baseball icon Jackie Robinson for Major League Baseball’s Jackie Robinson Day. Germania, along with the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, pledged $42,000 to The Jackie Robinson Foundation and a number of other organizations that support local youth development, education, and small businesses. The Jackie Robinson Foundation will allocate their portion of the donation to fund two scholarships for their annual scholars program. “We honor Jackie Robinson’s life and legacy as a respected symbol of equality and social change over the past 73 years,” Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Min Choi said. “Just as Mr. Robinson did for his community, Germania understands our civic duty and strives to support
our Texas communities, especially during these trying times.” Jackie Robinson Day, which normally takes place April 15, was celebrated Aug. 28 throughout Major League Baseball. The Rangers hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, where both teams commemorated the day with all uniformed personnel wearing No. 42 as a tribute to Robinson. Robinson became the first Black American professional baseball player to play in Major League Baseball when he started first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers April 15, 1947. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. Germania is proud to participate in a number of programs designed to give back to the people of our community.
