Mears' father Roger also raced professionally.
Mears said he had always wanted to race and he had accepted the bad with the good.
"I have been watching racing for as long as I can remember," he said.
"To me, there is nothing more fun than going 200 miles per hour in a car. I have seen crashes all my life. It is something all drivers have to deal with and I do not want anyone to feel sorry for me if it ever happens to me."
Mears hopes to one day race with the big boys in the Winston Cup Series, but before that comes he must win his first race, something he hopes to do at the Mr. Goodcents 300 while representing the Jayhawks.

"We have great team chemistry this year," Waltz said. "I noticed it right from the first day we started, and I think that's going to carry this team farther than anyone expects us to go."

Five Cardinals pitchers shut out Brewers 3-0
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Woody Williams and four relievers combined on a five-hitter last night as the St. Louis Cardinals won their sixth consecutive game, 3-0 over the Milwaukee Brewers.
With the win, the Cardinals improved to 82-61, guaranteeing themselves a winning season for the third consecutive season.
Albert Pujols doubled home a run for the NL Central-leading Cardinals, and Williams (8-4) gave up three hits and a walk in five innings against a makeshift Brewers lineup.
Four Cardinals relievers went the final four innings, with Steve Kline pitching the ninth for his fifth save. The St. Louis bullpen has gone 54 consecutive innings without allowing a run.
In his second major league start, Ben Diggins (0-2) gave up three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in seven innings.
Milwaukee was shut out for the 14th time this season.
In his first start Sept. 2, he gave up eight runs, seven earned, against the Chicago Cubs.
Diggins, Los Angeles' first-round draft choice in 2000, was traded to Milwaukee on July 23 in the deal
that sent Tyler Houston to the Dodgers.
He walked six batters against Chicago, but didn't issue a free pass to the Cardinals until Scott Rolen walked to open the seventh inning.
Rolen then stole second, moved to third on a balk and scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-0.
The Brewers went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
