GAINSCO/Bob Stalling Racing and GAINSCO Auto Insurance are “All-In”. It’s 2013, and we have survived the end of the Mayan calendar and another grueling 24-hour endurance race with a 6th place finish. We secured the best race car drivers, and then supported them with the best fans, GAINSCO’s independent auto insurance agents. Pictured above, Bob Stallings leads a pre-race pep rally with the winning agents of a nearly four month long VIP contest. For those few agents, the once in a lifetime opportunity is awe-inspiring. Even though we cannot bring every deserving agent to the historic and iconic race, we can bring a piece of the action to them! The GIANSCO show-car program gives agents and racing fans the chance to interact with some of our previously raced Daytona Prototypes. While en route to the 51st running of the Rolex24, we displayed the 2009 championship winning No.99 car for select agents throughout Florida. The show-car program makes regular appearances across the US where GAINSCO Auto Insurance is sold.
