As an Official Partner of the Dallas Wings, GEICO will play a role in enhancing the ways fans connect with the team throughout the season, including game‑day experiences, team storytelling, and youth engagement. GEICO will also serve as the Presenting Partner of Dallas Wings Youth Basketball Summer Camps and will collaborate with the Dallas Wings on service initiatives across the region.

“We are thrilled to announce a partnership with GEICO,” said Dallas Wings CEO and Managing Partner Greg Bibb. “GEICO is not only a notable national brand, but one that has deep roots here in North Texas. Their commitment to elevating women’s sports with a focus on storytelling, while also emphasizing the importance of youth and community involvement, aligns perfectly with the Dallas Wings’ priorities. We look forward to working with GEICO for many years to come.”

“At GEICO, we believe investing in women’s sports is good for business, and we are committed to showing up meaningfully by supporting athletes and helping tell the stories that matter to their fans and communities,” said GEICO Chief Marketing Officer Arianna Orpello. “Women drive the majority of insurance decisions, which makes women’s sports an important place for us to show up authentically. As we mark nearly 90 years since our founding in Fort Worth and continue expanding our North Texas footprint, this partnership with the Dallas Wings reflects our commitment to investing for the long-term in the communities we serve.”

GEICO was founded in Fort Worth in 1936 and is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. The partnership with the Dallas Wings builds on GEICO’s growing investment in North Texas, including its continued expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and its support of major local sports organizations such as the Dallas Stars and Dallas Cowboys. Together, these partnerships reflect GEICO’s long‑term commitment to the region and to investing in professional sports that unite communities and inspire fans.

GEICO will be visible throughout the Dallas Wings’ home venues, including College Park Center and American Airlines Center, where the team will play three regular‑season home games this season. The partnership will be reflected across key game‑day elements throughout each venue.

Beginning with Monday night’s WNBA Draft, in which the Dallas Wings selected Azzi Fudd as the No. 1 overall pick, GEICO will also be integrated across the team’s social media channels. With a rapidly growing audience, the Dallas Wings rank among professional sports leaders in social engagement, recording a 120 percent increase in followers and a 266 percent increase in engagement over the past year.

As part of the sponsorship, GEICO will serve as the Presenting Partner of Dallas Wings Youth Basketball Summer Camps. Over the last two years, Dallas Wings Youth Programs have seen significant growth in both participation and the number of events. After a tenfold increase in camps and clinics between 2023 and 2025, the Dallas Wings anticipate offering more than 50 percent additional events in 2026, expanding programs across North Texas and to new age groups.

New York will lose more than $73.5 million in federal money because the Transportation Department said Thursday that state has refused to revoke nearly 33,000 questionable commercial driver's licenses for immigrants since an audit uncovered problems last year.

The department said that more than half of the 200 licenses reviewed during the audit had significant problems such as remaining valid long after an immigrant was authorized to be in the country. So the state was ordered to review all of this type of licenses and revoke illegal ones.

The federal government has reviewed records related to these non-domiciled CDLs in every state since Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy put a spotlight on this issue after an August crash in Florida that killed three people. Most states have either complied or are in negotiations with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, but California has lost $200 million. Several other states — including Pennsylvania, Minnesota and North Carolina — have been warned they are at risk of losing some funding.

“I promised the American people I would hold any state leader accountable for failing to keep them safe from unvetted, unqualified foreign drivers. I’m delivering on that promise today,” Duffy said.

Duffy has said that immigrants account for about 20% of all truck drivers nationwide, but these non-domiciled licenses immigrants can receive only represent about 5% of all commercial driver’s licenses or about 200,000 drivers. New York issued 32,606 of them.

New York officials have defended their licensing practices and said they are complying with federal law and that audits done during the first Trump administration supported that. Duffy also has threatened to pull federal funding from New York if it does not abandon a congestion pricing fee in New York City and if crime on the subway system is not addressed.

Gov. Kathy Hochul's spokesman Sean Butler said the action related to commercial driver's licenses seems to be part of broad effort to attack blue states.

“This continues a yearlong pattern of Secretary Duffy threatening to withhold money that keeps our roads, subways, and other infrastructure safe for New Yorkers. We will fight back, and once again we will win,” Butler said.

Trucking industry groups have praised the Transportation Department's efforts to get unqualified drivers off the road, crack down on questionable trucking schools and go after trucking companies that violate the rules and then just change their names and keep operating. The industry said that too often unqualified drivers who shouldn’t have licenses or can’t speak English have been allowed to get behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound (about 39,916 kilograms) truck.

But immigrant groups say that some drivers are now being unfairly targeted. The spotlight has been on Sikh truckers because the driver in the Florida crash and the driver in another fatal crash in California in October are both Sikhs.
