Proud Chevrolet Racing History
Chevrolet has always been known for its cutting-edge performance designs, its sleek and aerodynamic models, and breakthroughs in engineering. Chevrolet racing dates back over a century, with proof that performance runs deep in this brand. From the first engines sputtering down the road to Dale Earnhardt's 1998 victory at the Daytona 500, there has always been high-octane fuel in the veins of Chevy employees
.Perhaps the most iconic race, as well as one of the oldest in Chevy history, is the 1907 "Race That Started It All." Louis Chevrolet and his younger brother raced to be the personal chauffeur for William Durant, founder of General Motors. Durant was so impressed with Chevrolet's racing capabilities that he offered him the driving job on the spot. A few short years later, the Chevrolet brand was built. You could say racing has been in the brand's history from the start.
What does Chevrolet racing loo
Dale Earnhardt, a legend in NASCAR, won the Daytona 500 in 1998 after 19 long years of racing. Considered the Great American Race by many, Earnhardt shared a tear-worthy moment with his team and even competitors as he took his long-awaited drive down Victory Lane. Despite a range of victories racing in his iconic No. 3 Chevrolet, this is the only Daytona 500 win he secured.
In 2008, Chevrolet also made history when the Corvette was pitted against the World. That is to say, the Corvette beat out all the European legends - including BMW, Ferrari, and Porsche - to win the eighth consecutive Manufacturer's Championship. This made the Corvette the most successful team in the American Le Mans Series history.
What does Chevrolet racing look like today? Chevy NASCAR drivers include Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Danica Patrick, Jamie McMurray, Austin Dillon, Kyle Larson, Martin Treux, and Paul Menard. These are some of the best racers in the world, all driving iconic Chevrolets that have been engineered and tuned to perfection. It doesn't get much better than this.
